SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:36c–43: The Unbelief of the People

This paragraph discusses the unbelief (lack of belief or faith) of many of those who heard Jesus and saw his miracles. Many of them rejected him, as the Hebrew Scriptures prophesied. Others did believe but remained silent, afraid that they themselves would be rejected.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

The Jews still did not believe

Many Jews refused to have faith in Jesus

12:39

For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:

For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says: This verse introduces another quotation from the book of Isaiah. This quotation explains why many people could not believe in Jesus. The words For this reason and For again point ahead to the quotation from Isaiah in verse 40. Here are other ways to translate this verse:

Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, (ESV)

For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere…. (NIV)

And there is another saying of Isaiah that explains why they could not believe (REB)

they were unable to believe: These people were unable to believe. When the word believe is used without an object, it is usually a short way of saying “believes in Jesus.” So this clause includes the idea of believing the facts about who Jesus was and what he did. But it also includes the idea of trusting Jesus instead of trusting oneself or someone else. Both ideas are very closely related. If someone believes the facts about Jesus, it should result in trusting him. These people could do neither. Here are other ways to translate this idea:

The people could not have faith in Jesus (CEV)

they were not able to trust in Jesus

they could not believe in him

For again, Isaiah says: This phrase introduces another quotation from the Old Testament book of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:10). That quotation explains why the people could not believe. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

because, as Isaiah says elsewhere (NIV)

for as Isaiah also said (NLT)

It was as Isaiah said in another place

uW Translation Notes:

τοῦτο

this

Here, this refers to the reason for the Jews’ unbelief. That reason is given in the quotation from Isaiah provided in the next verse. It does not refer back to the quotation from Isaiah in the previous verse.

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ὅτι πάλιν εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας

because furthermore said Isaiah

This phrase introduces a quotation from the Old Testament book written by Isaiah the prophet ([Isaiah 6:10](../../isa/06/10.md)) which occurs in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that John is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [for Isaiah had again said in the Old Testament] or [for according to Isaiah]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).
