Bible Commentary

John 12:49

Jesus' words are not merely human wisdom — they are the very words of God the Father, delivered through the Son. When we read Jesus' words, we are reading what God Himself has said.

Memory phrase: Jesus speaks the Father's words.

Talk about it: How do we know Jesus' words come from God the Father?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me hear Your words as God's own words.
