John 12:42-50
Contemporary English Version
John 12:42-50
Contemporary English Version
42 Even then, many of the leaders put their faith in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone about it. The Pharisees had already given orders for the people not to have anything to do with anyone who had faith in Jesus. 43 And besides, the leaders liked praise from others more than they liked praise from God.
Jesus Came To Save the World
44 In a loud voice Jesus said:
Everyone who has faith in me also has faith in the one who sent me. 45 And everyone who has seen me has seen the one who sent me. 46 I am the light that has come into the world. No one who has faith in me will stay in the dark.
47 I am not the one who will judge those who refuse to obey my teachings. I came to save the people of this world, not to be their judge. 48 But everyone who rejects me and my teachings will be judged on the last day[a] by what I have said. 49 I don't speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say. 50 I know that his commands will bring eternal life. This is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me.

John 12:42-50
New International Version
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(A) But because of the Pharisees(B) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(C) 43 for they loved human praise(D) more than praise from God.(E)
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(F) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(G) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(H) so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(I) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(J) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(K) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(L) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(M)
