37 Although Jesus had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him

And if any man hear my words, but do not observe them; it is not I, who condemn him; for I came, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.
48 The one who rejects me and who does not receive my words, has one who judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
He who despises me, and rejects my instructions, has that which condemns him. The doctrine which I have taught will condemn him at the last day.
49 For I did not speak for myself, but it is the Father who sent me, who has given me the command about what to say and what to speak.
For I have not said anything from myself; but the Father who sent me, has commanded me what I should enjoin, and what I should teach.
