John 8:13-24

¹³The Pharisees said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

¹⁵You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.

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

¹⁷Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”

¹⁹They said to 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 also.”

²⁰He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

²¹So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

²²The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”

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

²⁴Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
