John 8:22

English

²²The Jews said, “So, is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by ‘You can’t come with me’?”

So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

The people asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”

Then the Jews began to say, “Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ”

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
