## John 12:37-39 in Context (Verses 34–42 KJV)
 
 [34 ](/kjv/john/12/34) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
 
 [35 ](/kjv/john/12/35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

 [39 ](/kjv/john/12/39) Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

 [41 ](/kjv/john/12/41) These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/john/12/42) ¶ Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess *him*, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
