John 12:41-50

41 Isaiah said these things because ¹he saw his glory and ²spoke of him.

42 Nevertheless, ³many even of the authorities believed in him, but ⁴for fear of the Pharisees they did not ⁵confess it, so that they would not be ⁶put out of the synagogue;

43 ⁷for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

Jesus Came to Save the World

44 And Jesus cried out and said, ⁸"Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ⁹in him who sent me.

45 And ¹⁰whoever ¹¹sees me sees him who sent me.

46 ¹²I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

47 If anyone ¹³hears my words and does not keep them, ¹⁴I do not judge him; for ¹⁵I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48 ¹⁶The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ¹⁷the word that I have spoken will judge him ¹⁸on the last day.

49 For ¹⁹I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ²⁰who sent me has himself given me ²¹a 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."
