John 3:19-20

19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

[13] "Wicked people rebel against the light. They refuse to acknowledge its ways or stay in its paths. 

14] The murderer rises in the early dawn to kill the poor and needy; at night he is a thief. 

15] The adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No one will see me then.' He hides his face so no one will know him. 

16] Thieves break into houses at night and sleep in the daytime. They are not acquainted with the light. 

17] The black night is their morning. They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness. …

John 1:3-5 NLT

38] This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted: "LORD, who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm?" 

39] But the people couldn't believe, for as Isaiah also said, 

40] "The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts- so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them." 

41] Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this, because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah's glory.
