Juan 12:49

49 Yo no hablo con autoridad propia; el Padre, quien me envió, me ha ordenado qué decir y cómo decirlo.

Juan 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 ) .

Juan 12:49 In-Context

47 No voy a juzgar a los que me oyen pero no me obedecen, porque he venido para salvar al mundo y no para juzgarlo.

48 Pero todos los que me rechazan a mí y rechazan mi mensaje serán juzgados el día del juicio por la verdad que yo he hablado.

49 Yo no hablo con autoridad propia; el Padre, quien me envió, me ha ordenado qué decir y cómo decirlo.

50 Y sé que sus mandatos llevan a la vida eterna; por eso digo todo lo que el Padre me indica que diga».
