John 12:44–48 · Berean Standard Bible

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.

45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.

47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
