34The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abideth for ever; how then dost thou say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
35Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, and hid himself from them.
37But though he had wrought so many signs before them, they did not believe in him;
38that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, “Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39For this cause they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,
40“He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them.”
41These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue;
43for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.
44But Jesus cried aloud, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me;
45and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth him that sent me.
46I have come a light into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in the darkness.
