John 8: 21 - 30 | |
21 | Again he said to them, "I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come." |
22 | Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself, since he says, `Where I am going, you cannot come'?" |
23 | He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. |
24 | I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he." |
25 | They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning. |
26 | I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him." |
27 | They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father. |
28 | So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me. |
29 | And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him." |
30 | As he spoke thus, many believed in him. |
