John 12:44-50
New International Version

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(A) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(B) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(C) so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(D) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(E) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(F) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(G) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(H)

Jesus’ Final Public Words

44 But Jesus shouted out,[a] “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,[b] 45 and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me.[c] 46 I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone[d] hears my words and does not obey them,[e] I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.[f] 48 The one who rejects me and does not accept[g] my words has a judge;[h] the word[i] I have spoken will judge him at the last day. 49 For I have not spoken from my own authority,[j] but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me[k] what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life.[l] Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.”[m]
