John 12:44-50 - Jesus' Final Public Appeal

44 And Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me, 45 and he who beholds me beholds him who sent me. 46 I have come as light into the world, that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me and will not receive my words has indeed a judge: the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day, 49 for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know his orders mean eternal life. Therefore when I speak, I speak as the Father has told me."
