Context of John 8:24

22The people asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?” 23Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.” 25“Who are you?” they demanded. Jesus replied, “The one I have always claimed to be. 26I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.”
