33 This he said, alluding to the death which he was to suffer.
This he said, signifying what death he should die.

37 But, though he had performed so many miracles before them, they believed not on him;

Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
40 "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."
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

42 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;
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 for they preferred approbation of men to the approbation of God.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Then Jesus, raising his voice, said, He who believes on me, believes not on me only; but on him who sent me.

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 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.
For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
