The New Testament: A Translation

by David Bentley Hart

42But, nevertheless, even many of the rulers had faith, but because of the Pharisees did not confess it for fear they should be expelled from the synagogue; 43for they loved the glory of men better than the glory of God. 44But Jesus spoke aloud and said, “Whoever has faith in me has faith not in me but in him who has sent me, 45and whoever sees me sees him who has sent me. 46I have come as a light into the cosmos, so that everyone who has faith in me might not remain in darkness. 47And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them I do not judge him; for I came not that I might judge the cosmos, but that I might save the cosmos. 48Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him: the word that I uttered—that will judge him on the last day. 49For I did not speak from myself, but rather the Father who has sent me, he has commanded what I should say and what I should speak. 50And I know that his command is life in the Age. Thus, whatever things I speak, just as the Father has told me, so I speak.”
