Verses of John 12
John 12:39 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary
1 ) "Therefore they could not believe," (dia touto ouk edunato pisteuein) "On account of this they were not able to believe;- Having both fulfilled the prophecies concerning Himself, and performed miracles before their eyes, yet they would not believe, Mat 23:37. Our Lord withdrew His conviction, so that they could not believe, Joh 8:24; Heb 3:7-8; Heb 4:7.
2) "Because Esaias said again," (hoti palin eipen Esaias) "Because Isaiah again said," further prophesied regarding Israel, those who were misguided by their religious rulers, who would receive the "greater damnation" for leading and confirming them in obstinate rejection of the revealed Messiah, Isa 6:10; Mat 23:13-14.
