John 12:45-50

12:45 and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me. ¹  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 ²  hears my words and does not obey them, ³  I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴  12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept ⁵  my words has a judge; ⁶  the word ⁷  I have spoken will judge him at the last day. 12:49 For I have not spoken from my own authority, ⁸  but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me ⁹  what I should say and what I should speak. 12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. ¹⁰  Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.” ¹¹
