These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
21
Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."

23
"You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world.
24

29
And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: for I do always what is pleasing to Him."

As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him.
