John 12:49 Douay-Rheims

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Hom. lxviii. 2) Or, I judge him not, i. e. I am not the cause of his destruction, but he is himself, by despising my words. The words that I have just said, shall be his accusers, and deprive him of all excuse; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him. And what word? This, viz. thatf I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father which sent Me gave Me a commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. All these things were said on their account, that they might have no excuse.
