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

44 But Jesus had proclaimed: "He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me; 45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come as a Light into the world, that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness. 47 When any one hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already--the very Message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last Day. 49 For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver. 50 And I know that Immortal Life lies in keeping his command. Therefore, whatever I say, I say only what the Father has taught me."
