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.”
27They did not know that He was speaking to them about the Father.
28Therefore Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and from Myself I do nothing; but just as My Father taught Me, these things I speak.
29And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
30While He spoke these words, many believed in Him.
31Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
33They answered Him, “We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”
34Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin.
35And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.
