Jesus' Final Public Appeal
48 The person who rejects me and does not accept my message has One who [will] judge him. The message that I have spoken will judge him on the last day [i.e., the judgment day]. 49 For I did not speak from myself [i.e., on my own authority], but the Father Himself, who sent me, has ordered me what to say and speak. 50 And I know that [obeying] His commandments [leads to] never ending life. So, the things which I say are what the Father has told me [to say]."
