{G1161} These things{G5023} understood{G1097}{(G5627)} not{G3756} his{G846} disciples{G3101} at the first{G4412}: but{G235} when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} was glorified{G1392}{(G5681)}, then{G5119} remembered they{G3415}{(G5681)} that{G3754} these things{G5023} were{G2258}{(G5713)} written{G1125}{(G5772)} of{G1909} him{G846}, and{G2532} that they had done{G4160}{(G5656)} these things{G5023} unto him{G846}.

But{G1161} though he{G846} had done{G4160}{(G5761)} so many{G5118} miracles{G4592} before{G1715} them{G846}, yet they believed{G4100}{(G5707)} not{G3756} on{G1519} him{G846}:

Verse 38

That{G2443} the saying{G3056} of Esaias{G2268} the prophet{G4396} might be fulfilled{G4137}{(G5686)}, which{G3739} he spake{G2036}{(G5627)}, Lord{G2962}, who{G5101} hath believed{G4100}{(G5656)} our{G2257} report{G189}? and{G2532} to whom{G5101} hath the arm{G1023} of the Lord{G2962} been revealed{G601}{(G5681)}?

Verse 39

Therefore{G5124}{G1223} they could{G1410}{(G5711)} not{G3756} believe{G4100}{(G5721)}, because{G3754} that Esaias{G2268} said{G2036}{(G5627)} again{G3825},

Verse 43

For{G1063} they loved{G25}{(G5656)} the praise{G1391} of men{G444} more{G3123} than{G2260} the praise{G1391} of God{G2316}.

Verse 46

I{G1473} am come{G2064}{(G5754)} a light{G5457} into{G1519} the world{G2889}, that{G3363} whosoever{G3956} believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} on{G1519} me{G1691} should{G3306} not{G3363} abide{G3306}{(G5661)} in{G1722} darkness{G4653}.

And{G2532} if{G3362} any man{G5100} hear{G191}{(G5661)} my{G3450} words{G4487}, and{G2532} believe{G4100}{(G5661)} not{G3362}, I{G1473} judge{G2919}{(G5692)}{(G5719)} him{G846} not{G3756}: for{G1063} I came{G2064}{(G5627)} not{G3756} to{G2443} judge{G2919}{(G5725)} the world{G2889}, but{G235} to{G2443} save{G4982}{(G5661)} the world{G2889}.

For{G3754} I{G1473} have{G2980} not{G3756} spoken{G2980}{(G5656)} of{G1537} myself{G1683}; but{G235} the Father{G3962} which sent{G3992}{(G5660)} me{G3165}, he{G846} gave{G1325}{(G5656)} me{G3427} a commandment{G1785}, what{G5101} I should say{G2036}{(G5632)}, and{G2532} what{G5101} I should speak{G2980}{(G5661)}.
