John 8:13-24

¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

²⁰These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

²¹therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

²²The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to 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;

²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.'
