John:8:12-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Jesus spoke to them again ,
saying ,
I am the Light of the world .
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness ,
but shall have the Light of Life .
*
The Pharisees therefore said to Him ,
You bear witness of Yourself ;
Your testimony is not true .
*
Jesus answered and said to them ,
Even if I bear witness of Myself ,
My testimony is true ,
for 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 .
*
And yet if I do judge ,
My judgment is true ;
for I am not alone ,
but I and the Father who sent Me .
*
It is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true .
*
I am One who bears witness of Myself ,
and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me .
*
Then they said to Him ,
Where is Your Father ?
Jesus answered ,
You know neither Me nor My Father .
If you had known Me ,
you would have known My Father also .
*
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury ,
as He taught in the temple ;
and no one laid hands on Him ,
for His hour 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 are not able to come .
*
So the Jews said ,
Will He kill Himself ,
because He says ,
Where I go you are not able to come ?
*
And He said to them ,
You are from beneath ;
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 ,
The Beginning ;
what I have been saying to you .
*
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you ,
but He who sent Me is true ;
and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him .
*
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father .
*
Then Jesus said to them ,
When you lift up the Son of Man ,
then you will know that I AM ,
and that I do nothing of Myself ;
but as My Father taught Me ,
I speak these things .
*
And He who sent Me is with Me .
The Father has not left Me alone ,
for I always do those things that please Him .
*
As He spoke these words ,
many believed into Him .
