John 12:47 in context
45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47And 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.

49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
