John 8:12-24

¹²Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

¹³So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.

¹⁴Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

¹⁵You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

¹⁶Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself — with me is the Father who sent me.

¹⁷Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

¹⁹Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

²⁰Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

²¹Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

²²So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

²³And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.
