44 Mas Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió;

45 Y el que me ve, ve al que me envió.

46 Yo [la] luz he venido al mundo, para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas.

47 Y el que oyere mis palabras, y no las creyere, yo no le juzgo; porque no he venido á juzgar al mundo, sino á salvar al mundo.

48 El que me desecha, y no recibe mis palabras, tiene quien le juzgue: la palabra que he hablado, ella le juzgará en el día postrero.
