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)

John 12:44-50
New Living Translation
44 Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. 45 For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. 46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. 47 I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. 48 But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. 49 I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.”
