GLORY John 12:37-41 Part 1 of 2

Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: "Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them." Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him. 

Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence 
John 2:11  What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of many signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 
Isaiah 53:1  Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Romans 10:16  But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them. 
Isaiah 6:9-10  He said, "Go and tell this people: 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."
Matthew 13:13-16  "This is why I speak to them in parables: Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear."
