Read in context

John 12:47–50 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

49 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

50 And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”
