34Therefore the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever, so how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35Jesus told them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you don’t know where you are going.
36Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
37Although He had performed so many signs in front of them, they still didn’t believe in Him,
38so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And who has the arm of the LORD been revealed to?”
39Therefore they couldn’t believe, because Isaiah said again:
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts and turn — and I would heal them.”
41Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they weren’t confessing Him, for fear that they might be put out of the synagogue;
43because they sincerely loved men’s approval more than God’s approval.
44Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me doesn’t just believe in me, but in Him who sent me.
45Whoever sees me sees Him who sent me.
46I have come into the world as light, that everyone who believes in me should not stay in darkness.
