But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in Him. This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted:
"Lord, who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord revealed His powerful arm?"
But the people couldn't believe, for as Isaiah also said,
"The Lord has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts-
so that their eyes cannot see,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and have me heal them."
Jesus shouted to the crowds, "If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also, God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all those who put their trust in me, will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don't obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken
