The Lord Jesus (peace be upon him) says in John 12:49:
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent Me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak." (21st Century King James Version).
Study of 40 different Bible's versions showed that the Father commanded Jesus, gave him a command or commandment in 33 versions as follows:
Jesus says according to these different versions: "The Father who sent me,
The Lord Jesus replies:
"For I have not spoken of Myself (on my own authority); but the Father who sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak (what to say and what to speak, what I should say and what I should speak or what to say and what to teach)"
This indicates that Jesus is but a messenger, he has not spoken on his own authority; but God who sent him Has commanded and ordered him about what to say and what to speak and what to teach. This precisely is the job of God's messengers.
What Jesus says in John 12:49 is closely similar to what Jesus says in in the verse 5:117 of the Quran. Read and compare.
The verse 5:117 of the Quran in the four available translations:
QARIB:
I spoke to them of nothing except that which you ordered me, that you worship Allah, my Lord and our Lord. I witnessed them whilst living in their midst and ever since you took me to you, you have been the watcher over them. You are the witness of everything.
SHAKIR:
I did not say to them aught save what thou didst enjoin me with: that serve Allah, my Lord and our Lord, and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when thou didst cause me to die, thou wert the watcher over them, and thou art witness of all things.
PICKTHAL:
I spake unto them only that which thou commandedst me, (saying): worship Allah, my Lord and our Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when thou tookest me thou wast the watcher over them. Thou art witness over all things.
YUSUFALI:
"Never said I to them aught except what thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and our Lord; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when thou didst take me up thou wast the watcher over them, and thou art a witness to all things.
