John 12:44 BBE

⁴²  However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

⁴³  For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

⁴⁴  Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.

⁴⁵  And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.

⁴⁶  I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.
