Evangelium
John 12: 44- 50
| 12:44 | But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me. |
| 12:45 | And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me. |
| 12:46 | I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness. |
| 12:47 | And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world. |
| 12:48 | Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day. |
| 12:49 | For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak. |
| 12:50 | And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Derfor, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.” |
