012:040 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous,
lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds,
and should turn, and I should heal them."
012:041 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory;
and he spoke of Him.
012:042 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him.
But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief,
for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
012:043 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than
the glory that comes from God.
012:044 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not
so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
012:045 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
012:046 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one
who believes in me may remain in the dark.
012:047 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not,
I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world,
but to save the world.
012:048 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings
is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken
will judge him on the last day.
012:049 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father
who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in
what words to speak.
012:050 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages.
What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me."
013:001 Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place.
Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world
and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were
in the world, He loved them to the end.
