26 If any one may minister unto me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my minister be: if any one may minister unto me, the Father will honor him.
Would any man serve me? let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any man serve me, my Father will reward him.
27 Now my soul is troubled; and what do I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on this account I came to this hour.

37 And He having done so many miracles in their presence, they were not believing on Him,

For this reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said, also,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; in order that they may not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.
"He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their understanding, that they might not see with their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, and be converted, that I might heal them."
41 Isaiah said these things, because he saw His glory; and spoke concerning Him.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke concerning him.
42 Nevertheless indeed many of the rulers also believed on Him; but they were not confessing Him on account of the Pharisees, in order that they might not be put out of the synagogues:
Nevertheless, there were several, even of the magistrates, who believed on him; but, for fear of the Pharisees, did not avow it, lest they should be expelled the synagogue;
43 for they loved the glory of the people more than the glory of God.
for they preferred approbation of men to the approbation of God.
44 But Jesus cried out and said; The one believing on me, believes not on me, but on Him that sent me,

And he who beholds me, beholds him who sent me.
46 I have come a light into the world, in order that every one believing on me may not abide in darkness.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me, may not remain in darkness.
47 And if any one may hear my words, and not keep them, I do not judge him: for I came not that I may judge the world, but that I may save the world.
And if any man hear my words, but do not observe them; it is not I, who condemn him; for I came, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejects me, and receiving not my words, has one judging him: the word which I have spoken, it will judge him in the last day.
He who despises me, and rejects my instructions, has that which condemns him. The doctrine which I have taught will condemn him at the last day.
49 Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say.
For I have not said anything from myself; but the Father who sent me, has commanded me what I should enjoin, and what I should teach.
