John 12:41
Compare all
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.”  
41 aThese things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

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

Because he saw his glory (oti eiden thn docan autou). Correct reading here oti (because), not ote (when). Isaiah with spiritual vision saw the glory of the Messiah and spoke (elalhsen) of him, John says, whatever modern critics may think or say. So Jesus said that Abraham saw his day (John 8:56). Cf. Hebrews 11:13.
