12 Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, “I am the Light of the world. He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto Him, “Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.”

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, “Though I bear record of Myself, yet My record is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come and whither I go.

15 Ye judge according to the flesh; I judge no man.

16 And yet if I judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent Me.

17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am One that bear witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me beareth witness of Me.”

19 Then they said unto Him, “Where is thy father?” Jesus answered, “Ye neither know Me, nor My Father. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also.”

20 These words spoke Jesus in the treasury as He taught in the temple, and no man laid hands on Him, for His hour was not yet come.

21 Then Jesus said again unto them, “I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins. Whither I go, ye cannot come.”

23 And He said unto them, “Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I said therefore unto you that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.”

25 Then they said unto Him, “Who art thou?” And Jesus said unto them, “Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge of you, but He that sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him.”

27 They understood not that He spoke to them of the Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, “When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.

29 And He that sent Me is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone, for I do always those things that please Him.”

30 As He spoke those words, many believed in Him.
