John 8:12-30

12ThenG3767 JesusG2424 againG3825 spokeG2980 to them, sayingG3004, “1I amG1510 the LightG5457 of the worldG2889; 2the one who followsG190 Me will not walkG4043 in the darknessG4653, but will haveG2192 the LightG5457 of lifeG2222.” 13SoG3767 the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004 to Him, “3You are testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 YourselfG4572; Your testimonyG3141 is not 4trueG227.” 14JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “5EvenG2579 ifG2579 I am testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, My testimonyG3141 is 6trueG227, becauseG3754 I knowG3609 7whereG4159 I cameG2064 from and whereG4226 I am goingG5217; but 8you do not knowG3609 whereG4159 I comeG2064 from orG2228 whereG4226 I am goingG5217. 159You judgeG2919 10accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; 11I am not judgingG2919 anyoneG3762. 16But evenG2532 12ifG1437 I do judgeG2919, My judgmentG2920 is trueG228; for I amG1510 not aloneG3441 in it, but I and the Father who sentG3992 Me. 17EvenG2532 in 13your LawG3551 it has been writtenG1125 that the testimonyG3141 of 14twoG1417 peopleG444 is 15trueG227. 18I amG1510 He who testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, and 16the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 Me.” 19SoG3767 they were sayingG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226 is Your FatherG3962?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “You knowG3609 neitherG3777 Me norG3777 My FatherG3962; 17ifG1487 you knewG3609 Me, you would knowG3609 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532.” 20TheseG3778 wordsG4487 He spokeG2980 18in 19the treasuryG1049, as 20He taughtG1321 in the templeG2413 area; and noG3762 oneG3762 arrestedG4084 Him, becauseG3754 21His hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064.

21ThenG3767 He saidG3004 againG3825 to them, “I am goingG5217 awayG5217, and 22you will lookG2212 forG2212 Me, and 23will dieG599 in your sinG266; whereG3699 I am goingG5217, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.” 22SoG3767 24the JewsG2453 were sayingG3004, “SurelyG3385 He will not killG615 HimselfG1438, will He, sinceG3754 He saysG3004, ‘25WhereG3699 I am goingG5217, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064’?” 23And He was sayingG3004 to them, “26You are from belowG2736, I amG1510 from aboveG507; 27you are of thisG3778 worldG2889, 28I amG1510 not of thisG3778 worldG2889. 24ThereforeG3767 I saidG3004 to you that you 29will dieG599 in your sinsG266; for unlessG1437G3361 you believeG4100 that 3031I amG1510, 32you will dieG599 in your sinsG266.” 25ThenG3767 they were sayingG3004 to Him, “WhoG5101 are You?” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “33WhatG3739G5101 have I evenG2532 been sayingG2980 to you from the beginningG746? 26I haveG2192 manyG4183 thingsG4183 to sayG2980 and to judgeG2919 regardingG4012 you, but 34He who sentG3992 Me is trueG227; and 35the things whichG3739 I heardG191 from Him, theseG3778 I sayG2980 to the worldG2889.” 27They did not realizeG1097 that He was speakingG3004 to them about the FatherG3962. 28SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “WhenG3752 you 36liftG5312 upG5312 the SonG5207 of ManG444, thenG5119 you will knowG1097 that 3738I amG1510, and 39I doG4160 nothingG3762 40on My ownG1683, but I sayG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778 as the FatherG3962 instructedG1321 Me. 29And He who sentG3992 Me is with Me; 41He 42has not leftG863 Me aloneG3441, for 43I alwaysG3842 doG4160 the thingsG701 thatG701 areG701 pleasingG701 to Him.” 30As He saidG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 44manyG4183 came to believeG4100 in Him.
