Zechariah 14:19

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”

Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’ ”

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,

punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
