42 Even so, many leaders believed in him, but they wouldn’t acknowledge their faith because they feared that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.
43 They believed, but they loved human praise more than God’s glory.
44 Jesus shouted, "Whoever believes in me doesn’t believe in me but in the one who sent me.
45 Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.
46 I have come as a light into the world so that everyone who believes in me won’t live in darkness.
47 If people hear my words and don’t keep them, I don’t judge them. I didn’t come to judge the world but to save it.
48 Whoever rejects me and doesn’t receive my words will be judged at the last day by the word I have spoken.
