John 8:12–30

¹²Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself. Thy testimony is not true.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go.

¹⁵You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.

¹⁶And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.

¹⁹They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

²⁰These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

²¹Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me. And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.

²²The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come?

²³And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world.

²⁴Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.

²⁵They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.

²⁶Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.

²⁷And they understood not that he called God his Father.

²⁸Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak.

²⁹And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him.

³⁰When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
