John 12:40 in Context — John 12

38 Para que se cumpliese el dicho que dijo el profeta Isaías: ¿Señor, quién ha creído á nuestro dicho? ¿y el brazo del Señor, á quién es revelado?

39 Por esto no podían creer, porque otra vez dijo Isaías:

40 Cegó los ojos de ellos, y endureció su corazón; porque no vean con los ojos, y entiendan de corazón, y se conviertan, y yo los sane.

41 Estas cosas dijo Isaías cuando vió su gloria, y habló de él.

42 Con todo eso, aun de los príncipes, muchos creyeron en él; mas por causa de los Fariseos no [lo] confesaban, por no ser echados de la sinagoga.
