John 12:45-50 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

45. Everyone who sees me is really seeing the one who sent me.

46. I came into this world as a light. I came so that everyone who believes in me will not stay in darkness.

47. “I did not come into the world to judge people. I came to save the people in the world. So I am not the one who judges those who hear my teaching and do not obey.

48. But there is a judge for all those who refuse to believe in me and do not accept what I say. The message I have spoken will judge them on the last day.

49. That is because what I taught was not from myself. The Father who sent me told me what to say and what to teach.

50. And I know that whatever he says to do will bring eternal life. So the things I say are exactly what the Father told me to say.”
