41. Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
42. Even then, many of the Jewish authorities believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees they did not talk about it openly, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue.
43. They loved human approval rather than the approval of God.
44. Jesus said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in him who sent me.
45. Whoever sees me sees also him who sent me.
46. I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.
47. If anyone hears my message and does not obey it, I will not judge him. I came, not to judge the world, but to save it.
48. Those who reject me and do not accept my message have one who will judge them. The words I have spoken will be their judge on the last day!
49. This is true, because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has commanded me what I must say and speak.
50. And I know that his command brings eternal life. What I say, then, is what the Father has told me to say.”
