John 12:44-50 - Jesus' Final Public Appeal
44 But Jesus cried out and said, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me, 45 and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me. 46 I have come [as] a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness. 47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me {has commanded me} what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So [the things] that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say."
