John 12:44-50

44 And Jesus cried out and said, "¹He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 "²He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

46 "³I 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 ⁴I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 "⁵He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; ⁶the word I spoke is what will judge him at ⁷the last day.

49 "⁸For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ⁹has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

50 "I know that ¹⁰His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ¹¹just as the Father has told Me."
