John 12:38-41; Romans 10:16

38 in order that what Yesha`yahu the prophet had said might be fulfilled, "ADONAI, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of ADONAI been revealed?"

39 The reason they could not believe was -- as Yesha`yahu said elsewhere --

40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they do not see with their eyes, understand with their hearts, and do t'shuvah, so that I could heal them."

41 (Yesha`yahu said these things because he saw the Sh'khinah of Yeshua and spoke about him.)

16 The problem is that they haven't all paid attention to the Good News and obeyed it. For Yesha'yahu says, "ADONAI, who has trusted what he has heard from us?"
