John 8:15-25

15 "1You judge according to the flesh; 2I am not judging anyone.
16 "But even 3if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
17 "Even in 4your law it has been written that the testimony of 5two men is true.
18 "I am He who testifies about Myself, and 6the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."
19 So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; 7if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."
20 These words He spoke in 8the treasury, as 9He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because 10His hour had not yet come.
21 Then He said again to them, "I go away, and 11you will seek Me, and 12will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot * come."
22 So 13the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, '14Where I am going, you cannot * come '?"
23 And He was saying to them, "15You are from below, I am from above; 16you are of this world, 17I am not of this world.
24 "Therefore I said to you that you 18will die in your sins; for unless * you believe that 19I am He, 20you will die in your sins."
25 So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What * have I been saying to you from the beginning?
