How was Isaiah 6:1-10 fulfilled in Jesus?


John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

John is saying that the prophecy in Isaiah 6:1-10 has been fulfilled in Jesus.

Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Isaiah 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Isaiah 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Jn 12:37 - John was saying Jesus was just sayin' something like "you have rejected me, and my father. My earthly public ministry is over. Think about what I taught you".

Jn 12:38 - John was saying about Jesus something like "Isaiah spoke of Me 700 years ago, saying I would be rejected by my own people. Wake up, Israel. You have had your chance. Next up are the Gentiles".

Never heard your take on this line of thought before on this topic, but I cannot disagree in general with it.

I like your answer.

Isaiah 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:


“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

9 He said, “Go and tell this people:


“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’

10
Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a]
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”​

Footnotes:
a.Isaiah 6:10 Hebrew; Septuagint ‘You will be ever hearing, but never understanding; / you will be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ / 10 This people’s heart has become calloused; / they hardly hear with their ears, / and they have closed their eyes

John 12:37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:


“Lord, who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”[a]​

Footnotes:
a.John 12:38 Isaiah 53:1

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?​

Here are the verses for those who want to read them from the NIV.

Actually in John 12:37-38, John is referencing Isaiah 53:1 not Isaiah 6:1-10. So apparently I don't understand the question. Sorry...

Interesting. I will try to investigate Isaiah 53:1 as a possible answer. Thank you.

Isaiah 53:1 is definitely part of the reference. Isa 6:9-10 also reflect the rejection part of 53:1. Even the Apostles didn't really get what Jesus was teaching until they met Him after the resurrection. I have always stated that the only people who really understood what Jesus and who He was were the women folk. We men really need to listen to and follow the instructions dealt us, for sure.
