John 8:18-26

¹⁸I am the One testifying about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

¹⁹Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would also know My Father.”

²⁰These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, for His time had not yet come.

²¹Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

²²So the Jews said, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”

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

²⁴Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁶I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these things I say to the world.”
