John:8:12-30

*
Then spoke Jesus again to them ,
saying ,
I am the light of the world :
he that follows me shall not walk in darkness ,
but shall have the light of life .
*
The Pharisees therefore said to him ,
You bore record of yourself ;
your record is not true .
*
Jesus answered and said to them ,
Though I bear record of myself ,
yet my record is true :
for I know from where I came ,
and where I go ;
but you cannot tell from where I come ,
and where I go .
*
You judge after the flesh ;
I judge no man .
*
And yet if I judge ,
my judgment is true :
for I am not alone ,
but I and the Father that sent me .
*
It is also written in your law ,
that the testimony of two men is true .
*
I am one that bear witness of myself ,
and the Father that sent me bears witness of me .
*
Then said they to him ,
Where is your Father ?
Jesus answered ,
You neither know me ,
nor my Father :
if you had known me ,
you should have known my Father also .
*
These words spoke Jesus in the treasury ,
as he taught in the temple :
and no man laid hands on him ;
for his hour was not yet come .
*
Then said Jesus again to them ,
I go my way ,
and you shall seek me ,
and shall die in your sins :
where I go ,
you cannot come .
*
Then said the Jews ,
Will he kill himself ?
because he said ,
Where I go ,
you cannot come .
*
And he said to them ,
You are from beneath ;
I am from above :
you are of this world ;
I am not of this world .
*
I said therefore to you ,
that you shall die in your sins :
for if you believe not that I am he ,
you shall die in your sins .
*
Then said they to him ,
Who are you ?
And Jesus said to them ,
Even the same that I said to you from the beginning .
*
I have many things to say and to judge of you :
but he that sent me is true ;
and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him .
*
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father .
*
Then said Jesus to them ,
When you have lifted up the Son of man ,
then shall you know that I am he ,
and that I do nothing of myself ;
but as my Father has taught me ,
I speak these things .
*
And he that sent me is with me :
the Father has not left me alone ;
for I do always those things that please him .
*
As he spoke these words ,
many believed on him .
