John 8:12-23

¹²Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.

¹⁵Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.

¹⁶And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

¹⁷And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:

¹⁸I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

¹⁹They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

²⁰These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.

²¹He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.

²²The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?

²³And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
