John 12:43 in Context — John 12

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.

43 Porque amaban más la gloria de los hombres que la gloria de Dios.

44 Mas Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió;

45 Y el que me ve, ve al que me envió.
