Jean 12:49

49 Car je n'ai point parlé par moi-même, mais le Père, qui m'a envoyé, m'a prescrit ce que je devais dire et annoncer. Et je sais que son commandement est la vie éternelle.

Jean 12:49 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:49

For I have not spoken of myself
As man, or as separate from his Father; his doctrine was not human, but divine, and therefore a rejection of it cannot escape notice at the future judgment:

but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should
say, and what I should speak;
Christ, as man, had his mission, and commission, and his instructions from his Father to preach the Gospel unto men; he was anointed for it by the Holy Ghost; he was enjoined the preaching of it by his Father, and the several doctrines he published were delivered him by him; see ( John 8:28 ) ( 17:8 ) .

Jean 12:49 In-Context

47 Et si quelqu'un entend mes paroles et ne croit pas, je ne le juge point, car je ne suis pas venu pour juger le monde, mais pour sauver le monde.

48 Celui qui me rejette et ne reçoit point mes paroles, a son juge; la parole que j'ai annoncée, c'est elle qui le jugera au dernier jour.

49 Car je n'ai point parlé par moi-même, mais le Père, qui m'a envoyé, m'a prescrit ce que je devais dire et annoncer. Et je sais que son commandement est la vie éternelle.

50 Les choses donc que je dis, je les dis comme mon Père me les a dites.
