because Isaiah had said again; (40)"He hath blinded
their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their
eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should
heal them." (41)These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and
spake of him. (42)However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers
believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open
profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues: (43)for they
loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
(44)Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
on me, but on him that sent me. (45)And he that seeth me, seeth him
that sent me. (46)I am come a light into the world, that every one who
believeth on me should not abide in darkness. (47)And if any man,
hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to
judge the world, but to save the world. (48)He that sets me at nought,
and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word
which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.
(49)Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent
me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
(50)And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the
things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak
I.

his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end.
(2)And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;)
(3)Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he came out from God, and was going to God; (4)he rises from
supper, and lays aside his garments, and taking a towel, he wound it
about himself. (5)Then he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was
begirt. (6)Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord,
dost thou wash my feet? (7)Jesus answered and said to him, What I am
doing thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. (8)Peter
saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered
him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. (9)Simon Peter
saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my
