John 12:44-50

English Standard Version

Jesus Came to Save the World

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, ^(A)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ^(B)in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And ^(C)whoever ^(D)sees me sees him who sent me. ^46 (E)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone ^(F)hears my words and does not keep them, ^(G)I do not judge him; for ^(H)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ^48 (I)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ^(J)the word that I have spoken will judge him ^(K)on the last day. ⁴⁹ For ^(L)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ^(M)who sent me has himself given me ^(N)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”
