44 Now Jesus cried out and said, (A)The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me. 45 And (B)the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (C)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears My [a]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for (D)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 (E)The one who rejects Me and does not [b]accept My [c]teachings has one who judges him: (F)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on (G)the last day. 49 (H)For I did not speak [d]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me (I)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that (J)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak (K)just as the Father has told Me.”

Judgment by Jesus’ Word

44 Then Jesus said loudly, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me only, but also[a] in the one who sent me. 45 The one who sees me sees the one who sent me. 46 I’ve come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won’t remain in the darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them, I don’t condemn him, because I didn’t come to condemn the world, but to save it.[b] 48 The one who rejects me and doesn’t receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I’ve spoken will judge him on the last day, 49 because I haven’t spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak. 50 And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
