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)

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)
