John 12:41

39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

40 “He^a 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.”

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.

John 12:41

When he saw his glory - Isaiah 6:1, etc. I saw Jehovah, said the prophet, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim; and one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah, God of hosts; the whole earth shall be full of his glory! It appears evident, from this passage, that the glory which the prophet saw was the glory of Jehovah: John, therefore, saying here that it was the glory of Jesus, shows that he considered Jesus to be Jehovah. See Bishop Pearce. Two MSS. and a few versions have , and ̔ , the glory of God, or of his God.
