Concluding Summary: John 12:44-50(ESV)And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come into the world as light so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. For I have not spoken on my authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment- what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.
