John 12:41-50

41 These things Isaiah said because ¹he saw His glory, and ²he spoke of Him.

42 Nevertheless * ³many even of ⁴the rulers believed in Him, but ⁵because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear * that they would be ⁶put out of the synagogue;

43 ⁷for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

44 And Jesus cried out and said, "⁸He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 "⁹He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

46 "¹⁰I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

47 "If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ¹¹I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 "¹²He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; ¹³the word I spoke is what will judge him at ¹⁴the last day.

49 "¹⁵For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ¹⁶has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

50 "I know that ¹⁷His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ¹⁸just as the Father has told Me."
