Jesus Came to Save the World

44 And Jesus cried out and said, (A)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but (B)in him who sent me. 45 And (C)whoever (D)sees me sees him who sent me. 46 (E)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone (F)hears my words and does not keep them, (G)I do not judge him; for (H)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (I)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; (J)the word that I have spoken will judge him (K)on the last day. 49 For (L)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father (M)who sent me has himself given me (N)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.”

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.”
