John 12:39

37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”

41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
