John 8:21-29

21Then He said again to them, “I go away, and 1you will seek Me, and 2will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

22So 3the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘4Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

23And He was saying to them, “5You are from below, I am from above; 6you are of this world, 7I am not of this world.

24Therefore I said to you that you 8will die in your sins; for unless you believe that 910I am He, 11you will die in your sins.”

25So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “12What have I been saying to you from the beginning?

26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but 13He who sent Me is true; and 14the 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 15lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that 1617I am He, and 18I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

29And He who sent Me is with Me; 19He 20has not left Me alone, for 21I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
