John 12:43

The People Still Refuse To Believe

⁴² Still, however, even out of the rulers, many did believe on Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. ⁴⁴ But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes on Me does not believe on Me but on Him who sent Me.
