John, after asserting that the people could not believe, because Isaiah said... blinded, might not see...
and that Isaiah saw Jesus glory and spoke about him- then goes on- Nevertheless many, even of the authorities believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human glory more than the glory that comes from God.
So it's a generalisation – seeing and not hearing- which holds generally true- but there are those who hear and see. Some of them are like the seed that falls in soil with weeds- like here, the worries of this life – human glory, comes in and chokes the life out of it.
Yep – too often- human glory- what a boring task master.
