So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesusanswered, "You knowneither Me nor My Father; 1if you knew Me, you would know My Fatheralso."
20
Thesewords He spoke in 2the treasury, as 3He taught in the temple; and nooneseized Him, because4His hour had not yetcome.
21
Then He saidagain to them, "I goaway, and 5you will seek Me, and 6will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot*come."
22
So7the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not killHimself, will He, since He says, '8Where I am going, you cannot*come '?"
23
And He was saying to them, "9You are from below, I am from above; 10you are of thisworld, 11I am not of thisworld.
24
"Therefore I said to you that you 12will die in your sins; for unless* you believe that 13I am He, 14you will die in your sins."
25
So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesussaid to them, "What* have I been saying to you from the beginning?
26
"I havemanythings to speak and to judgeconcerning you, but 15He who sent Me is true; and 16the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."
27
They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.
28
SoJesussaid, "When you 17lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that 18I am He, and 19I donothing on My owninitiative, but I speakthesethings as the Fathertaught Me.

"And He who sent Me is with Me; 20He has not left Me alone, for 21I alwaysdo the things that are pleasing to Him."
