Gospel
text (John 12,44-50):
Jesus declared publicly: «Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him
who sent me. And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me. I have come into the
world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If
anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I am not the one to condemn him;
for I have come, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. The one who
rejects me, and does not receive my word, already has a judge: the very word I
have spoken will condemn him on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own
authority; the Father who sent me has instructed me in what to say and how to
speak. I know that his commandment is eternal life, and that is why the message
I give, I give as the Father instructed me».
