New Catholic Bible
John 12:46-48
New Catholic Bible
46 I have come into the world as light
so that everyone who believes in me
may not have to remain in darkness.
47 [a]“But if anyone listens to my words
and fails to observe them,
I will not pass judgment on him,
for I did not come to judge the world
but to save the world.
48 Anyone who rejects me
and does not accept my words
already has a judge.
On the last day,
the word that I have spoken
will serve as his judge.
