John 12:44-50 - Jesus' Final Public Appeal
44 Jesus cried out: He, who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 45 He that sees me sees (perceives) (discerns) (experiences) the one who sent me. 46 I have come as a light to the world. Everyone who believes in me will not remain in darkness. 47 If any man hears my sayings and does not obey them I will not judge him. I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejects me and does not accept my message has one that judges him. The word (divine expression) (God's Word) that I spoke shall judge him now and in the last day. (Deuteronomy 18:19) 49 I spoke not from myself but from the Father who sent me. He has given me a commandment concerning what I should say when I speak. 50 I know that his commandment means everlasting life. Therefore I say the things the Father tells me to say.
