Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 12:37-41.


John 12:39-40

_ _ Therefore they could not believe, because Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, that they should not see, etc. — That this expresses a positive divine act, by which those who willfully close their eyes and harden their hearts against the truth are judicially shut up in their unbelief and impenitence, is admitted by all candid critics [as Olshausen], though many of them think it necessary to contend that this is in no way inconsistent with the liberty of the human will, which of course it is not.
