New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Summary of Jesus’s Teaching

44 Then Jesus cried aloud: “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me.(A) 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.(B) 46 I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.(C) 47 I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.(D) 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge,(E) 49 for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”

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]
