John 8:12-30

12Once againG3825G3767, JesusG2424 spokeG2980 toG846 the people and saidG3004, “IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 lightG5457 of theG3588 worldG2889. WhoeverG3588 followsG190 MeG1473 will never walkG3756G3361G4043 inG1722 theG3588 darknessG4653, butG235 will haveG2192 theG3588 lightG5457 of lifeG2222.”

13SoG3767 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 saidG2036 to HimG846, “YouG4771 are testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 YourselfG4572; YourG4771 testimonyG3141 isG1510 notG3756 validG227.”

14JesusG2424 repliedG611G2532G2036G846, “Even ifG2579 IG1473 testifyG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, MyG1473 testimonyG3141 isG1510 validG227, becauseG3754 I knowG1492 whereG4159 I came fromG2064 andG2532 whereG4226 I am goingG5217. ButG1161 youG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492 whereG4159 I came fromG2064 orG2228 whereG4226 I am goingG5217. 15YouG4771 judgeG2919 according toG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561; IG1473 judgeG2919 no oneG3756G3762. 16ButG1161 evenG2532 ifG1437 IG1473 do judgeG2919, MyG1699 judgmentG2920 isG1510 trueG228, becauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 aloneG3441; IG1473 am with theG3588 FatherG3962 who sentG3992 MeG1473.1 17EvenG2532 inG1722 yourG5212 own LawG3551 it is writtenG1125 thatG3754 theG3588 testimonyG3141 of twoG1417 menG444 isG1510 validG227.2 18IG1473 amG1510 One who testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, andG2532 theG3588 FatherG3962, who sentG3992 MeG1473, also testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 MeG1473.”

19“WhereG4226 isG1510 YourG4771 FatherG3962?” they askedG2036 HimG846.

“You do not knowG1492G3777 MeG1473 or MyG1473 FatherG3962,” JesusG2424 answeredG611. “IfG1487 you knewG1492 MeG1473, you would knowG302G1492 MyG1473 FatherG3962 as wellG2532.”

20He spokeG2980 theseG3778 wordsG4487 while teachingG1321 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, nearG1722 theG3588 treasuryG1049. YetG2532 no oneG3762 seizedG4084 HimG846, becauseG3754 HisG846 hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064.

21

AgainG3825 He saidG2036 to themG846, “IG1473 am going awayG5217, andG2532 you will look forG2212 MeG1473, but you will dieG599 inG1722 yourG4771 sinG266. WhereG3699 IG1473 am goingG5217, youG4771 cannotG3756G1410 comeG2064.”

22SoG3767 theG3588 JewsG2453 began to askG2036, “Will He killG3385G615 HimselfG1438, sinceG3754 He saysG3004, ‘WhereG3699 IG1473 am goingG5217, youG4771 cannotG3756G1410 comeG2064’?”

23ThenG2532 He toldG2036 themG846, “YouG4771 areG1510 fromG1537 belowG2736; IG1473 amG1510 fromG1537 aboveG507. YouG4771 areG1510 ofG1537 thisG3778 worldG2889; IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG3778 worldG2889. 24That is whyG3767 I toldG2036 youG4771 thatG3754 you would dieG599 inG1722 yourG4771 sinsG266. ForG1063 unlessG1437G3361 you believeG4100 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 He, you will dieG599 inG1722 yourG4771 sinsG266.”

25“WhoG5101 areG1510 YouG4771?” they askedG2036.

“JustG2532 whatG3754 I have been tellingG2980 youG4771 from theG3588 beginningG746,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036G846. 26“I haveG2192 muchG4183 to sayG2980 aboutG4012 youG4771 andG2532 much to judgeG2919. ButG235 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473 isG1510 truthfulG227, andG2504 whatG3739 I have heardG191 fromG3844 HimG846, I tellG2980G1519 theG3588 worldG2889.”

27They did not understandG3756G1097 thatG3754 He was tellingG2036 themG846 about theG3588 FatherG3962. 28SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG2036, “WhenG3752 you have lifted upG5312 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444, thenG5119 you will knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 He, andG2532 that I doG4160 nothingG3762 onG575 My ownG1683, butG235 speakG2980 exactlyG2531 whatG3778 theG3588 FatherG3962 has taughtG1321 MeG1473. 29He whoG3588 sentG3992 MeG1473 isG1510 withG3326 MeG1473. He has not leftG3756G863 MeG1473 aloneG3441, becauseG3754 IG1473 alwaysG3842 doG4160 whatG3588 pleasesG701 HimG846.”

30AsG846 Jesus spokeG2980 these thingsG3778, manyG4183 believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846.
