John 8:21-30

The Voice

Jesus (to the crowds): ²¹ I am leaving this place, and you will look for Me and die in your sin. For where I am going, you are unable to come.

Jews: ²² Is He suicidal? He keeps saying, “Where I am going, you are unable to come.”

Jesus: ²³ You originate from the earth below, and I have come from the heavens above. You are from this world, and I am not. ²⁴ That’s why I told you that you will die here as a result of your sins. Unless you believe I am who I have said I am, your sins will lead to your death.

Jews: ²⁵ Who exactly are You?

Jesus: From the beginning of My mission, I have been telling you who I am. ²⁶ I have so much to say about you, so many judgments to render; but if you hear one thing, hear that the One who sent Me is true, and all the things I have heard from Him I speak into the world.

Jesus: ²⁸ Whenever the day comes and you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. It will be clear then that I am not acting alone, but that I am speaking the things I have learned directly from the Father. ²⁹ The One who sent Me is with Me; He has not abandoned Me because I always do what pleases Him.
