John 12:46

44 Then Jesus cried out and said, ^a“He who believes in Me, ^bbelieves not in Me ^cbut in Him who sent Me.

45 And ^ahe who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

46 ^aI have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if anyone hears My words and does not¹ believe, ^aI do not judge him; for ^bI did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

48 ^aHe who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—^bthe word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

49 For ^aI have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, ^bwhat I should say and what I should speak.

John 12:46

I am come a light into the world - Probably referring to what his forerunner had said, John 1:5. Before the coming of this Savior, this sun of righteousness, into the world, all was darkness: at his rising the darkness is dispersed; but it only profits those whose eyes are open to receive the rays of this sun of righteousness. See on John 1:5 (note); John 3:19 (note); John 8:12 (note); John 9:5 (note).
