The words that I have spoken, they shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself: but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know well that his commandment is life everlasting. Whatsoever I speak therefore: even as the father bade me, so I speak."
