Did Not Because Could Not

Some Greeks did not believe in Jesus because they could not believe in Jesus beacause Isaiah, under Holy Spirit inspiration, said it would be so. (John 12:37-43)

37But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?"

39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

40"HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM."

Oh my soul get desperate for God's Self-disclosure!
