The Anointing at Bethany(A)
12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, (B)where Lazarus was [a]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then (D)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of (E)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (I)whom He had raised from the dead. 10 (J)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 (K)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry(L)
12 (M)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
(N)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”
14 (O)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
15 “Fear(P) not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, your King is coming,
Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 (Q)His disciples did not understand these things at first; (R)but when Jesus was glorified, (S)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 (T)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, (U)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”
The Fruitful Grain of Wheat
20 Now there (V)were certain Greeks among those (W)who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, (X)who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them, saying, (Y)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, (Z)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much [d]grain. 25 (AA)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him (AB)follow Me; and (AC)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross
27 (AD)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? (AE)But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”
(AF)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, (AG)“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now (AH)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, (AI)if I am [e]lifted up from the earth, will draw (AJ)all peoples to Myself.” 33 (AK)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
34 The people answered Him, (AL)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer (AM)the light is with you. (AN)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; (AO)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (AP)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and (AQ)was hidden from them.
Who Has Believed Our Report?
37 But although He had done so many (AR)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
(AS)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “He(AT) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(AU)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
41 (AV)These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
Walk in the Light
42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but (AW)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 (AX)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, (AY)“He who believes in Me, (AZ)believes not in Me (BA)but in Him who sent Me. 45 And (BB)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (BC)I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not [g]believe, (BD)I do not judge him; for (BE)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (BF)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—(BG)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For (BH)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, (BI)what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I (BJ)speak.”

Jesus Anointed at Bethany(A)
12 Six days before the Passover,(B) Jesus came to Bethany,(C) where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served,(D) while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume;(E) she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.(F) And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(G) objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(H) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(I) 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c](J) but you will not always have me.”
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him(L) many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.(M)
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(N)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches(O) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![d]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(Q)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(S) Only after Jesus was glorified(T) did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him(U) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(V) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(W)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(X) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(Y) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(Z) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(AA) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(AB) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(AC) for eternal life.(AD) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(AE) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(AF) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(AG) save me from this hour’?(AH) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(AI) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,(AJ) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(AK) now the prince of this world(AL) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[g] from the earth,(AM) will draw all people to myself.”(AN) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(AP) that the Messiah will remain forever,(AQ) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(AR) must be lifted up’?(AS) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(AT) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(AU) before darkness overtakes you.(AV) Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”(AW) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(AX)
Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews
37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs(AY) in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[i](BA)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(BB) and spoke about him.(BC)
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(BD) But because of the Pharisees(BE) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(BF) 43 for they loved human praise(BG) more than praise from God.(BH)
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(BI) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(BJ) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(BK) 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.(BL) 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(BM) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(BN) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(BO) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(BP)

Chúa Ðược Xức Dầu
(Mat 26:6-13; Mác 14:3-9)
12 Sáu ngày trước Lễ Vượt Qua Ðức Chúa Jesus đến Bê-tha-ni, làng của La-xa-rơ, người Ngài đã khiến sống lại từ cõi chết. 2 Người ta dọn tiệc đãi Ngài tại đó. Ma-thê hầu bàn, và La-xa-rơ là một trong những người ngồi cùng bàn với Ngài. 3 Ma-ry lấy một cân dầu cam tùng nguyên chất rất quý giá xức chân Ðức Chúa Jesus, và lau chân Ngài bằng tóc nàng. Mùi dầu thơm ngào ngạt tỏa ra khắp nhà.
4 Nhưng Giu-đa Ích-ca-ri-ốt, một trong các môn đồ Ngài, kẻ sắp sửa phản Ngài, nói, 5 “Tại sao không đem bán chai dầu ấy, lấy ba trăm đơ-na-ri giúp người nghèo?” 6 Hắn nói vậy không phải vì hắn lo tưởng gì đến người nghèo, nhưng vì hắn là tay trộm cắp. Hắn giữ túi tiền chung và hay biển thủ tiền trong đó.
7 Ðức Chúa Jesus nói, “Hãy để mặc nàng, vì nàng đã để dành dầu này cho ngày chôn xác Ta. 8 Các ngươi có người nghèo với mình luôn, nhưng các ngươi không có Ta luôn.”
9 Khi biết Ðức Chúa Jesus đang ở tại đó, một đám đông người Do-thái kéo đến, không chỉ vì họ muốn thấy Ðức Chúa Jesus, nhưng cũng để xem La-xa-rơ, người Ngài đã khiến sống lại từ cõi chết. 10 Vậy các trưởng tế bàn mưu để giết luôn La-xa-rơ; 11 bởi vì ông đã sống lại mà nhiều người Do-thái đã bỏ họ và tin Ðức Chúa Jesus.
Chúa Vào Thành Giê-ru-sa-lem Cách Khải Hoàn
(Mat 21:4-9; Mác 11:7-10; Lu 19:35-38)
12 Hôm sau đoàn dân đông về dự lễ nghe tin Ðức Chúa Jesus đang trên đường vào Thành Giê-ru-sa-lem, 13 họ lấy nhánh chà là đi ra đón Ngài và tung hô rằng,
“Hô-sa-na![a]
Chúc tụng Ðấng nhân danh Chúa ngự đến!
Chúc tụng Vua của I-sơ-ra-ên!”
14 Tìm được một con lừa tơ, Ðức Chúa Jesus cỡi lên, y như đã chép,
15 “Hỡi con gái Si-ôn, đừng sợ!
Này, Vua ngươi đến, cỡi trên lừa tơ.”
16 Lúc đầu các môn đồ Ngài không hiểu những điều ấy; nhưng sau khi Ðức Chúa Jesus đã được vinh hiển, họ nhớ ra rằng những điều ấy đã được chép về Ngài, và người ta đã làm thành những điều ấy cho Ngài.
17 Ðám đông có mặt với Ngài lúc Ngài gọi La-xa-rơ ra khỏi phần mộ và khiến ông sống lại từ cõi chết đi làm chứng. 18 Vì lẽ ấy dân chúng lũ lượt kéo ra nghênh đón Ngài, bởi họ nghe nói Ngài đã làm phép lạ ấy. 19 Thấy vậy những người Pha-ri-si nói với nhau, “Quý vị có thấy là quý vị chẳng làm được gì chăng? Kìa, cả thiên hạ đều chạy theo ông ấy!”
Chúa Nói Trước về Sự Chết của Ngài
20 Trong số những người đến thờ phượng trong kỳ lễ có mấy người Hy-lạp. 21 Mấy người ấy đến gặp Phi-líp là người quê ở Bết-sai-đa miền Ga-li-lê và xin rằng, “Thưa ông, chúng tôi mong được gặp Ðức Chúa Jesus.” 22 Phi-líp nói với Anh-rê, rồi Anh-rê và Phi-líp cùng đến thưa với Ðức Chúa Jesus.
23 Ðức Chúa Jesus trả lời họ rằng, “Giờ Con Người được vinh hiển đã đến. 24 Quả thật, quả thật, Ta nói với các ngươi, nếu hạt lúa mì kia không gieo xuống đất và chết đi thì nó chỉ là một hạt; nhưng nếu chết đi, nó sẽ kết quả nhiều. 25 Ai yêu mạng sống mình sẽ mất nó; và ai ghét mạng sống mình trong thế gian này sẽ giữ được nó cho sự sống đời đời. 26 Nếu ai phục vụ Ta, người ấy phải theo Ta; Ta ở đâu, tôi tớ Ta cũng ở đó. Nếu ai phục vụ Ta thì Cha Ta sẽ tôn quý người ấy. 27 Bây giờ tâm hồn Ta xúc động. Ta sẽ nói gì? ‘Lạy Cha, xin cứu con khỏi giờ này. Nhưng chính vì lẽ ấy, tức cho giờ này, mà Con đã đến. 28 Cha ôi, xin làm vinh hiển danh Cha.’”
Bấy giờ có tiếng từ trời vọng xuống rằng, “Ta đã làm vinh hiển rồi và sẽ làm vinh hiển nữa.”
29 Ðám đông đứng đó nghe vậy bèn nói, “Ấy là tiếng sấm.” Những người khác lại bảo, “Một thiên sứ đã nói chuyện với Ngài.”
30 Ðức Chúa Jesus trả lời và nói, “Chẳng phải vì Ta mà tiếng này vọng xuống, nhưng vì các ngươi. 31 Bây giờ là lúc thế gian này bị phán xét; bây giờ kẻ cai trị thế gian này sẽ bị tống ra ngoài. 32 Còn Ta, khi Ta được nhấc lên khỏi đất, Ta sẽ kéo mọi người đến với Ta.” 33 Ngài nói điều ấy để chỉ về Ngài sẽ chết cách nào.
34 Ðám đông nói với Ngài, “Chúng tôi nghe trong Luật Pháp dạy rằng Ðấng Christ sẽ còn lại đời đời.
35 Ðức Chúa Jesus nói với họ, “Ánh sáng ở với các ngươi ít lâu nữa. Hãy bước đi trong khi còn ánh sáng, kẻo bóng tối bắt kịp các ngươi. Ai đi trong bóng tối thì không biết mình đi đâu. 36 Trong khi các ngươi còn ánh sáng, hãy tin vào ánh sáng, để các ngươi trở thành con cái của ánh sáng.”
Sau khi nói những lời ấy, Ðức Chúa Jesus rời nơi đó và ẩn mình khỏi họ.
Người Do-thái Vẫn Cứng Lòng
37 Mặc dù Ngài đã làm nhiều phép lạ trước mắt họ, họ vẫn không tin Ngài. 38 Ðiều ấy đã ứng nghiệm lời Tiên Tri Ê-sai nói trước rằng,
“Lạy Chúa, ai tin những lời chúng con rao báo?
Và cánh tay của Chúa đã được bày tỏ cho ai?”[b]
39 Sở dĩ họ không thể tin, vì Ê-sai cũng đã nói,
40 “Ngài đã làm cho mắt họ mù và lòng họ cứng cỏi,
Kẻo mắt họ thấy được và lòng họ hiểu được,
Rồi họ trở lại, khiến Ta phải chữa lành cho họ chăng.”
41 Ê-sai nói những điều ấy khi ông thấy vinh quang của Ngài và nói về Ngài.
44 Bấy giờ Ðức Chúa Jesus nói lớn tiếng, “Ai tin Ta chẳng phải chỉ tin Ta nhưng tin Ðấng đã sai Ta. 45 Ai thấy Ta là thấy Ðấng đã sai Ta. 46 Ta là ánh sáng đã đến thế gian, để ai tin Ta sẽ không còn ở trong tối tăm. 47 Nếu ai nghe lời Ta và không vâng giữ, Ta sẽ không đoán xét người ấy; vì Ta đến không để đoán xét thế gian nhưng để cứu thế gian. 48 Ai khước từ Ta và không nhận lời Ta, đã có một thẩm phán đoán xét rồi. Trong ngày cuối cùng, những lời Ta đã phán sẽ là thẩm phán đoán xét người ấy. 49 Vì Ta không nói theo ý riêng mình, nhưng Cha, Ðấng đã sai Ta, truyền cho Ta phải nói điều gì và giảng điều gì. 50 Ta biết mệnh lệnh của Ngài là sự sống đời đời; vì thế những gì Ta nói là nói như Cha đã bảo Ta.”

Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany
12 Six days before (A)the Passover, (B)Jesus therefore came to Bethany, (C)where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they gave a dinner for him there. (D)Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. 3 (E)Mary therefore took a pound[a] of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and (F)given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it[c] for the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus[d] was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, (H)whom he had raised from the dead. 10 (I)So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because (J)on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day (K)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of (L)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, (M)“Hosanna! Blessed is (N)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even (O)the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15 (P)“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt!”
16 (Q)His disciples did not understand these things at first, but (R)when Jesus was glorified, then (S)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 (T)The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him (U)was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, (V)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, (W)the world has gone after him.”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now (X)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some (Y)Greeks. 21 So these came to (Z)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told (AA)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, (AB)“The hour has come (AC)for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AD)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (AE)Whoever loves his life loses it, and (AF)whoever (AG)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must (AH)follow me; and (AI)where I am, there will my servant be also. (AJ)If anyone serves me, (AK)the Father will honor him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (AL)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, (AM)save me from (AN)this hour’? But (AO)for this purpose I have come to (AP)this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then (AQ)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, (AR)“An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, (AS)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 (AT)Now is the judgment of this world; now will (AU)the ruler of this world (AV)be cast out. 32 And I, (AW)when I am lifted up from the earth, (AX)will draw (AY)all people to myself.” 33 He said this (AZ)to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that (BA)the Christ remains forever. How can you say that (BB)the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, (BC)“The light is among you (BD)for a little while longer. (BE)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness (BF)overtake you. (BG)The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (BH)sons of light.”
The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 (BI)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
(BJ)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they (BK)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,
40 (BL)“He has blinded their eyes
and (BM)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
41 Isaiah said these things because (BN)he saw his glory and (BO)spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, (BP)many even of the authorities believed in him, but (BQ)for fear of the Pharisees they did not (BR)confess it, so that they would not be (BS)put out of the synagogue; 43 (BT)for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.
Jesus Came to Save the World
44 And Jesus cried out and said, (BU)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but (BV)in him who sent me. 45 And (BW)whoever (BX)sees me sees him who sent me. 46 (BY)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone (BZ)hears my words and does not keep them, (CA)I do not judge him; for (CB)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (CC)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; (CD)the word that I have spoken will judge him (CE)on the last day. 49 For (CF)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father (CG)who sent me has himself given me (CH)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.”
