John 12:46-50

12:46 I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness. 12:47 If anyone ¹  hears my words and does not obey them, ²  I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ³  12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept ⁴  my words has a judge; ⁵  the word ⁶  I have spoken will judge him at the last day. 12:49 For I have not spoken from my own authority, ⁷  but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me ⁸  what I should say and what I should speak. 12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. ⁹  Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.” ¹⁰
