 Just a comment from an OT person.  Jn 12:41 explicitly identifies Jesus and
 Yahweh.  That is not to say that that view was necessarily widespread

Dear Lloyd:

There is no such identification at all in this verse.

Please articulate your view for detailed consideration.

Dear Greg and All:

I don't have a Greek NT, but the Jeusalem Bible translates,

"Isaiah said this when he saw his glory, and his words referred to Jesus."

When did Isaiah say this.  Isaiah 6 quoted in v. 40.  Whose glory is
revealed there?  Yahweh's.  Whose words referred to Jesus?  Isaiah's.

Regards,

Lloyd
