John 12:42-46

42Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.

43For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.

44Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me.

45For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.

46I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
