Context of John 8:25

23Yeshua said, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. If you don’t believe that I am, you will die in your sins.” So they asked Him, “Who are you?” Yeshua replied, “What have I been telling you from the beginning? 26I have much to say and judge about you. But the One who sent Me is true, and I tell the world what I heard from Him.” 27They didn’t understand that He was talking to them about the Father.
