Jean 12:49

49 Car je n'ai point parlé de moi-même; mais le Père, qui m'a envoyé, m'a prescrit lui-même ce que je dois dire et annoncer.

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 Si quelqu'un entend mes paroles et ne les garde point, ce n'est pas moi qui le juge; car je suis venu non pour juger le monde, mais pour sauver le monde.
48 Celui qui me rejette et qui ne reçoit pas 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 de moi-même; mais le Père, qui m'a envoyé, m'a prescrit lui-même ce que je dois dire et annoncer.
50 Et je sais que son commandement est la vie éternelle. C'est pourquoi les choses que je dis, je les dis comme le Père me les a dites.
