John 12:44-50 - Jesus' Final Public Appeal
44 But Jesus cried loudly, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who has sent me; 45 and whoever sees me, sees him who has sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me may have to remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and disregards them, it is not I that judge him, for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 Whoever rejects me and refuses to accept my teachings is not without his judge; the very message I have given will be his judge on the Last Day, 49 for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say. 50 And I know his orders mean eternal life. So whatever I say, I say only as the Father has told me."
