John 12:44-50

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴⁴ Then Jesus called out, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me only, but in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And the one who sees me sees him who sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world as a light, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears my words but does not hold on to them, I do not judge him, for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ The one who rejects me and does not receive my words does have a judge. The word which I spoke is what will judge him on the Last Day, ⁴⁹ because I have not spoken on my own, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a command regarding what I am to say and what I am to speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his command is eternal life. So the things I speak are exactly what the Father told me to speak.”
