JOHN 12:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: 'Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?' — John quotes Isaiah 53:1 to explain the unbelief: the rejection of the righteous servant (Jesus) was predicted in Scripture. The 'message' and the revelation of God's power and might have been present, but the world has refused to receive them, fulfilling the pattern described in Isaiah's servant song.
