Commentary
Commentary on John 12:38
Theological / DevotionalMight be fulfilled. The Greek may be translated as a clause of result rather than of purpose, as in ch. 9:3 (see comment there; cf. on ch. 11:4). The passage would then read, “They believed not in him: as a result, the saying of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, etc.” See further on Matt. 1:22; John 12:39.
Lord, who hath believed? A quotation from Isa. 53:1, from the LXX rather than the Hebrew. The two readings are identical except for the title “Lord,” which does not appear in the Hebrew. See on Isa. 53:1.
