12:36 光の子となるために、光のあるうちに、光を信じなさい。」

◆イエスを信じない者たち

12:36 イエスはこれらのことを話してから、立ち去って彼らから身を隠された。

12:37 このように多くのしるしを彼らの目の前で行われたが、彼らはイエスを信じなかった。

12:38 預言者イザヤの言葉が実現するためであった。彼はこう言っている。「主よ、だれがわたしたちの知らせを信じましたか。主の御腕は、だれに示されましたか。」

12:39 彼らが信じることができなかった理由を、イザヤはまた次のように言っている。

12:40 「神は彼らの目を見えなくし、／その心をかたくなにされた。こうして、彼らは目で見ることなく、／心で悟らず、立ち帰らない。わたしは彼らをいやさない。」

12:41 イザヤは、イエスの栄光を見たので、このように言い、イエスについて語ったのである。

12:42 とはいえ、議員の中にもイエスを信じる者は多かった。ただ、会堂から追放されるのを恐れ、ファリサイ派の人々をはばかって公に言い表さなかった。

ＮＫＪＶ ヨハ 12:36-43

12:36 "While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

12:37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,

12:38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:"Lord, who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

12:40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,Lest they should see with their eyes,Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,So that I should heal them."

12:41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

12:42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

12:43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

ＴＥＶ ヨハ 12:36-43

12:36 Believe in the light, then, while you have it, so that you will be the people of the light."

12:37 Even though he had performed all these miracles in their presence, they did not believe in him,

12:38 so that what the prophet Isaiah had said might come true: /"Lord, who believed the message we told? /To whom did the Lord reveal his power?"

12:39 And so they were not able to believe, because Isaiah also said,

12:40 "God has blinded their eyes /and closed their minds, /so that their eyes would not see, /and their minds would not understand, /and they would not turn to me, says God, /for me to heal them."

12:41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.

12:42 Even then, many Jewish authorities believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees they did not talk about it openly, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue.

12:43 They loved human approval rather than the approval of God.
