Context
40“Amewafanya vipofu,
na kuifanya mioyo yao kuwa migumu,
ili wasiweze kuona kwa macho yao,
wala kuelewa kwa mioyo yao,
wasije wakageuka nami nikawaponya.” 41Isaya alisema haya alipoona utukufu wa Yesu na kunena habari zake. 42Lakini wengi miongoni mwa viongozi wa Wayahudi walimwamini, lakini kwa sababu ya Mafarisayo hawakukiri waziwazi kwa maana waliogopa kufukuzwa katika masinagogi. 43Wao walipenda sifa za wanadamu kuliko sifa zitokazo kwa Mungu. 44Yesu akapaza sauti akasema, “Yeyote aniaminiye, haniamini mimi peke yangu, bali yeye aliyenituma.
