John 12:44-50

A Summary of Jesus' Mission

44 Then Jesus cried out, "The one who believes in Me believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me.

45 And the one who sees Me sees Him 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 them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48 The one who rejects Me and doesn't accept My sayings has this as his judge: ^[a] the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

49 For I have not spoken on My own, but the Father 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. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."
