John 12:36-38
New King James Version
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (A)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and (B)was hidden from them.
Who Has Believed Our Report?
37 But although He had done so many (C)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
(D)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
John 12:36-38
New American Standard Bible
36 While you have the Light, (A)believe in the Light, so that you may become (B)sons of Light.”
These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and (C)hid Himself from them. 37 But though He had performed so many [a]signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him. 38 This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “(D)Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 (B)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
(C)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
