John 12:41-43
New Catholic Bible
41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory, and his words referred to him.
42 Nevertheless, there were many, even among the authorities, who believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess their faith in him, for fear of being banned from the synagogue.[a] 43 For they valued human glory more highly than the glory that comes from God.
