John 12:50

---

← John 12:49 [words of Jesus]	John 12:50 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	John 13:1 →
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.	And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.	Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
