That will judge him on (D)the last day. 49 (E)For I did not speak [d]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me (F)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that (G)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak (H)just as the Father has told Me.”
