JOHN 12:49 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken — Jesus grounds His teaching authority in the Father's command: He speaks not from His own initiative but in obedience to the Father's instruction. This establishes the source and authority of His words, preventing any diminishment of His teaching as merely human opinion.
