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)

Summary of Jesus’ teaching
44 Jesus shouted, “Whoever believes in me doesn’t believe in me but in the one who sent me. 45 Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. 46 I have come as a light into the world so that everyone who believes in me won’t live in darkness. 47 If people hear my words and don’t keep them, I don’t judge them. I didn’t come to judge the world but to save it. 48 Whoever rejects me and doesn’t receive my words will be judged at the last day by the word I have spoken. 49 I don’t speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me regarding what I should speak and say. 50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, whatever I say is just as the Father has said to me.”
