John 8:12-30

12Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “1I am the Light of the world; 2he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13So the Pharisees said to Him, “3You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not 4true.” 14Jesus answered and said to them, “5Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is 6true, for I know 7where I came from and where I am going; but 8you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 159You judge 10according to the flesh; 11I am not judging anyone. 16But even 12if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17Even in 13your law it has been written that the testimony of 14two men is 15true. 18I am He who testifies about Myself, and 16the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” 19So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; 17if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20These words He spoke in 18the treasury, as 19He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because 20His hour had not yet come.

21Then He said again to them, “I go away, and 21you will seek Me, and 22will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 22So 23the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘24Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23And He was saying to them, “25You are from below, I am from above; 26you are of this world, 27I am not of this world. 24Therefore I said to you that you 28will die in your sins; for unless you believe that 2930I am He, 31you will die in your sins.” 25So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “32What have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but 33He who sent Me is true; and 34the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.” 27They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28So Jesus said, “When you 35lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that 3637I am He, and 38I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29And He who sent Me is with Me; 39He 40has not left Me alone, for 41I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30As He spoke these things, 42many came to believe in Him.
