John 8:15-25

15 ¹You judge according to the flesh; ²I judge no one.

16 Yet even if I do judge, ³my judgment is true, for ⁴it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father^[a] who sent me.

17 ⁵In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true.

18 I am the one who bears witness about myself, and ⁶the Father who sent me bears witness about me. ”

19 They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father? ” Jesus answered, ⁷“You know neither me nor my Father. ⁸If you knew me, you would know my Father also. ”

20 These words he spoke in ⁹the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but ¹⁰no one arrested him, because ¹¹his hour had not yet come.

21 So he said to them again, ¹²“I am going away, and ¹³you will seek me, and ¹⁴you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come. ”

22 So the Jews said, ¹⁵“Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’? ”

23 He said to them, ¹⁶“You are from below; I am from above. ¹⁷You are of this world; ¹⁸I am not of this world.

24 I told you that you ¹⁹would die in your sins, for ²⁰unless you believe that ²¹I am he you will die in your sins. ”

25 So they said to him, ²²“Who are you? ” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.
