John 12:47 in Context — John 12

45 et celui qui me voit voit celui qui m’a envoyé.

46 Je suis venu comme une lumière dans le monde, afin que quiconque croit en moi ne demeure pas dans les ténèbres.

47 Si quelqu’un entend mes paroles et ne les garde point, ce n’est pas moi qui le juge;car je suis venu non pour juger le monde, mais pour sauver le monde.

48 Celui qui me rejette et qui ne reçoit pas mes paroles a son juge;la parole que j’ai annoncée, c’est elle qui le jugera au dernier jour.

49 Car je n’ai point parlé de moi-même; mais le Père, qui m’a envoyé, m’a prescrit lui-même ce que je dois dire et annoncer.
