A Summary of Jesus’ Mission

⁴⁴ Then 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 a 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 accept 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 as to what I should say and what I should speak. 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)
