*
Then Jesus spoke to them again ,
saying , "
I am the light of the world .
He that follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness ,
but will have the light of life ."
*
Therefore the Pharisees said to Him , "
You testify about Yourself ;
Your testimony is not valid ."
*
Jesus answered and said to them , "
Even if I should testify about Myself ,
My testimony is valid ,
because I know where I came from and where I am going ;
but you do not know where I come from and where I am going .
*
You judge according to the flesh ;
I judge no one .
*
But even if I do judge ,
My judgment is true ;
because I am not alone ,
but I am with the Father who sent Me .
*
It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid .
*
I am the [
One ]
testifying about Myself ,
and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me ."
*
Then they said to Him , "
Where is Your Father ?"
Jesus answered , "
You know neither Me nor My Father .
If you knew Me ,
you would also know My Father ."
*
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury ,
while teaching in the temple ;
and no one seized Him ,
for His time had not yet come .
*
Then Jesus said to them again , "
I am going away ,
and you will seek Me ,
and will die in your sin .
Where I go you cannot come ."
*
So the Jews said , "[
Surely ]
He will not kill Himself , [
will He ,]
since He says , '
Where I am going you cannot come '?"
*
And He said to them , "
You are from below ;
I am from above .
You are from this world ;
I am not from this world .
*
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins ;
for if you do not believe that I AM ,
you will die in your sins ."
*
Then they said to Him , "
Who are You ?"
And Jesus said to them , "
Just what I have been saying to you [
from ]
the beginning .
*
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you ,
but He who sent Me is true ;
and the [ ]
things which I heard from Him ,
these things I say to the world ."
*
They did not know that He was speaking to them [
about ]
the Father .
*
Therefore Jesus said to them , "
When you lift up the Son of Man ,
then you will know that I AM ,
and from Myself I do nothing ;
but just as My Father taught Me ,
these things I speak .
*
And He who sent Me is with Me .
The Father has not left Me alone ,
because I always do the things pleasing to Him ."
*
While He spoke these words ,
many believed in Him .
