ヨハネの福音書 12:40
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

Study Note
John's citation of Isaiah 6:10 ('He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart') at the conclusion of the Book of Signs interprets Jesus' widespread rejection as the fulfilment of Isaiah's commission to a people who would not hear. The divine-passive construction — God as the agent of hardening — raises the most acute tensions between divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the Gospels, and John's immediately following affirmation that 'many rulers believed' (12:42) shows that hardening is not absolute. The quotation in verse 41 states that Isaiah 'saw his (Christ's) glory,' interpreting the theophany of Isaiah 6 as a pre-incarnate vision of the Son — a remarkable high-Christology claim. Paul deploys the same Isaianic hardening text in Romans 9-11 to explain Israel's present partial rejection of the gospel.
