In context
37 And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him,
38 That the saying of Esaias the Prophete might be fulfilled, that he sayd, Lord, who beleeued our report? and to whome is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
39 Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them.
41 These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him.
42 Neuertheles, euen among the chiefe rulers, many beleeued in him: but because of the Pharises they did not confesse him, least they should be cast out of the Synagogue.
43 For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
