John 12:44-50

Christian Standard Bible

A Summary of Jesus’s Mission

⁴⁴ Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in me^(A) believes not in me, but in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And the one who sees me sees him^(B) who sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep^(C) them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world^(D) but to save the world.^{(E) 48} The one who rejects me^(F) and doesn’t receive my sayings has this as his judge: ^[a] The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.^{(G) 49} For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father^(H) himself who sent me has given me a command to say everything I have said. ⁵⁰ I know that his command is eternal life.^(I) So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.”^(J)
