John 12:44-50
New American Standard Bible
44 Now Jesus cried out and said, “(A)The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me. 45 And (B)the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (C)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears My [a]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for (D)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 (E)The one who rejects Me and does not [b]accept My [c]teachings has one who judges him: (F)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on (G)the last day. 49 (H)For I did not speak [d]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me (I)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that (J)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak (K)just as the Father has told Me.”

John 12:44-50
King James Version
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John 12:44-50
English Standard Version
Jesus Came to Save the World
44 And Jesus cried out and said, (A)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but (B)in him who sent me. 45 And (C)whoever (D)sees me sees him who sent me. 46 (E)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone (F)hears my words and does not keep them, (G)I do not judge him; for (H)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (I)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; (J)the word that I have spoken will judge him (K)on the last day. 49 For (L)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father (M)who sent me has himself given me (N)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
