Chapter 12

¹ JESUS therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
² And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
³ Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
⁴ Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
⁶ Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
⁷ Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
⁸ For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
⁹ A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
¹⁰ But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:
¹¹ Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
¹² And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.
¹⁴ And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:
¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
¹⁶ These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
¹⁷ The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.
¹⁸ For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.
²⁰ Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
²¹ These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
²² Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
²³ But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
²⁴ Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,
²⁵ Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.
²⁶ If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.
²⁷ Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
²⁹ The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
³⁰ Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
³¹ Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
³² And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.
³³ (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)
³⁴ The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.
³⁶ Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.
³⁷ And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:
³⁸ That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:
⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
⁴¹ These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
⁴² However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.
⁴³ For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
⁴⁴ But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.
⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.
⁴⁷ And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸ He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.

Chapter 12

¹ Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
² There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
⁴ Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray him,
⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.
⁷ Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.
⁸ For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
⁹ Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
¹⁰ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
¹¹ Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
¹² On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
¹⁴ And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
¹⁶ These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him.
¹⁷ The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
¹⁸ For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
²⁰ And there were certain Greeks among them, that came to worship at the feast.
²¹ The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
²² Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal.
²⁶ If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.
²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
²⁹ The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him.
³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
³² And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
³³ (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)
³⁴ The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
³⁶ While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.
³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
³⁸ That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
⁴² Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
⁴³ For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
⁴⁴ Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me:
⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me:
⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that whoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
⁴⁷ And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸ He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.

Chapter 12

¹ six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
² they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
³ therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
⁴ Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
⁵ wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
⁶ he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
⁷ Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
⁸ you always have the poor with you, but you don't always have me."
⁹ large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
¹⁰ the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
¹¹ on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
¹² the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"
¹⁴ having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
¹⁵ be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
¹⁶ disciples didn't understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
¹⁷ multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
¹⁸ this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
¹⁹ Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."
²⁰ there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
²¹ therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
²² came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
²³ answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
²⁴ certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
²⁵ who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
²⁶ anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
²⁷ my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.
²⁸ glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
²⁹ multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
³⁰ answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
³¹ is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
³² I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
³³ he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
³⁴ multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
³⁵ therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going.
³⁶ you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
³⁷ though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn't believe in him,
³⁸ the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
³⁹ this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again,
⁴⁰ has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them."
⁴¹ said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
⁴² even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it, so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,
⁴³ they loved men's praise more than God's praise.
⁴⁴ cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
⁴⁵ who sees me sees him who sent me.
⁴⁶ have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
⁴⁷ anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸ who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
⁵⁰ know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

Chapter 12

¹ Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
² There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
³ Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
⁴ One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
⁶ But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
⁷ Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
⁸ for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
⁹ A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
¹⁰ But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
¹¹ because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
¹² On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
¹³ took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
¹⁶ [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
¹⁷ The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
¹⁸ Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
²⁰ And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
²¹ these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
²² Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
²³ But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
²⁶ If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
²⁹ The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
³⁰ Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
³¹ Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
³² and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
³³ But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
³⁴ The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?
³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
³⁷ But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
³⁸ that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
³⁹ On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
⁴¹ These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
⁴² Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
⁴³ for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
⁴⁴ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
⁴⁵ and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
⁴⁶ I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
⁴⁷ and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
⁴⁸ He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
⁵⁰ and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

Chapter 12

¹ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.
² So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.
³ Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.
⁴ But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
⁵ Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?
⁶ (He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)
⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
⁸ The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
⁹ Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.
¹⁰ Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;
¹¹ For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.
¹² The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
¹⁴ And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,
¹⁵ Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.
¹⁶ (These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)
¹⁷ Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.
¹⁸ And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.
¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.
²⁰ Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:
²¹ They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
²² Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.
²³ And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.
²⁴ Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.
²⁵ He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.
²⁶ If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.
²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.
²⁸ Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.
²⁹ Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.
³⁰ Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.
³¹ Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.
³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.
³³ (This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
³⁴ Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?
³⁵ Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.
³⁶ In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.
³⁷ But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:
³⁸ So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?
³⁹ For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,
⁴⁰ He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.
⁴¹ (Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)
⁴² However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:
⁴³ For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
⁴⁴ Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.
⁴⁵ And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.
⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.
⁴⁷ And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.
⁴⁸ He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.
⁵⁰ And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.
