34 The people answered Him, a“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer athe light is with you. bWalk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; che who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become asons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and bwas hidden from them.
Who Has Believed Our Report?
37 But although He had done so many asigns before them, they did not believe in Him,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
a“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
a“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “Hea has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
bLest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
bLest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
41 aThese things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
Walk in the Light
42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but abecause of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 afor they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, a“He who believes in Me, bbelieves not in Me cbut in Him who sent Me.
46 aI have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if anyone hears My words and does not1 believe, aI do not judge him; for bI did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
48 aHe who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—bthe word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
49 For aI have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, bwhat I should say and what I should speak.
50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I aspeak.”
