John 12:42-50
42Nevertheless 1many even of 2the rulers believed in Him, but 3because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be 45put out of the synagogue; 436for they loved the 7approval of men rather than the 8approval of God.
44And Jesus cried out and said, “9He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. 4510He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. 4611I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. 47If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for 12I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 4813He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; 14the word I spoke is what will judge him at 15the last day. 4916For I did not speak 17on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me 18has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50I know that 19His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak 20just as the Father has told Me.”
