John 8:21–30

²¹So he said to them again, ^f“I am going away, and ^gyou will seek me, and ^hyou will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” ²²So the Jews said, ⁱ“Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” ²³He said to them, ^j“You are from below; I am from above. ^kYou are of this world; ^lI am not of this world. ²⁴I told you that you ^mwould die in your sins, for ⁿunless you believe that ^oI am he you will die in your sins.” ²⁵So they said to him, ^p“Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. ²⁶I have much to say about you and much to judge, but ^qhe who sent me is true, and I declare ^rto the world ^swhat I have heard from him.” ²⁷They did not understand that ^the had been speaking to them about the Father. ²⁸So Jesus said to them, “When you have ^ulifted up the Son of Man, ^vthen you will know that ^wI am he, and that ^xI do nothing on my own authority, but ^yspeak just as the Father taught me. ²⁹And ^zhe who sent me is with me. ^zHe has not left me alone, for ^aI always do the things that are pleasing to him.” ³⁰As he was saying these things, ^bmany believed in him.
