Luke 20:5
20:5 So
they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
John 3:18
3:18 The one who believes in him is not condemned.
The one who does not believe has been condemned
already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only
Son of God.
John 5:33-36
5:33 You have sent to John,
and he has testified to the truth.
5:34 (I do not accept
human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)
5:35 He was a lamp that was burning and shining,
and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time
in his light.
5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete – the deeds I am now doing – testify about me that the Father has sent me.
John 5:44-47
5:44 How can you believe, if you accept praise
from one another and don’t seek the praise
that comes from the only God?

5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
5:47 But if you do not believe what Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?”
John 10:25-26

“I told you and you do not believe. The deeds
I do in my Father’s name testify about me.

John 12:37-43
The Outcome of Jesus’ Public Ministry Foretold
12:37 Although Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to believe in him,
12:38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled. He said, “Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
12:39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said,
12:40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their heart,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and understand with their heart,
and turn to me, and I would heal them.”
12:41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Christ’s glory, and spoke about him.
12:42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not confess Jesus to be the Christ, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
12:43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
John 12:1

John 3:20
3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.
