John 12:44-50

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Summary of Jesus’s Teaching

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried aloud: “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me.^{(A) 45} And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.^{(B) 46} I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.^{(C) 47} I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.^{(D) 48} The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge,^{(E) 49} for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
