John 8:13-24

¹³Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on your own behalf, so your testimony isn’t valid.”

¹⁴Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know where I come from or where I am going.

¹⁵You judge by human standards, but I am not judging anyone.

¹⁶Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷It’s also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is valid.

¹⁸I am one who bears witness of myself, and my Father who sent me bears witness of me.”

¹⁹Then they asked Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father, too.”

²⁰Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. Nobody laid hands on Him, for His time had not yet come.

²¹Jesus told them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you can’t come.”

²²Therefore the Jews were saying, “Surely He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

²³Jesus was saying to them, “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

²⁴Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
