John 12:42-50
42NeverthelessG3676G3305 1manyG4183 evenG2532 of 2the rulersG758 believedG4100 in Him, but 3becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they were not confessingG3670 Him, for fearG2443G3361 that they would be 45putG656 out of the synagogueG656; 436for they lovedG25 the 7approvalG1391 of menG444 ratherG3123 thanG2228 the 8approvalG1391 of GodG2316.
44And JesusG2424 criedG2896 out and saidG3004, “9He who believesG4100 in Me, does not believeG4100 in Me but in Him who sentG3992 Me. 4510He who seesG2334 Me seesG2334 the One who sentG3992 Me. 4611I have comeG2064 as LightG5457 into the worldG2889, soG2443 that everyoneG3956 who believesG4100 in Me will not remainG3306 in darknessG4653. 47IfG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 My sayingsG4487 and does not keepG5442 them, I do not judgeG2919 him; for 12I did not comeG2064 to judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but to saveG4982 the worldG2889. 4813He who rejectsG114 Me and does not receiveG2983 My sayingsG4487, hasG2192 one who judgesG2919 him; 14the wordG3056 I spokeG2980 is whatG1565 will judgeG2919 him at 15the lastG2078 dayG2250. 4916For I did not speakG2980 17on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683, but the FatherG3962 HimselfG846 who sentG3992 Me 18has givenG1325 Me a commandmentG1785 as to whatG5101 to sayG3004 and whatG5101 to speakG2980. 50I knowG3609 that 19His commandmentG1785 is eternalG166 lifeG2222; thereforeG3767 the things I speakG2980, I speakG2980 20justG2531 as the FatherG3962 has toldG3004 Me.”
