John 8:21-30

New Matthew Bible

²¹ Then Jesus said again to them, I go my way; and you will seek me, and will die in your sins. Where I go, there you cannot come.

²² Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? For he says, Where I go, there you cannot come.

²³ And he said to them, You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. ²⁴ I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.

²⁵ Then they said to him, Who are you?

And Jesus said to them, Even the very same thing that I say to you. ²⁶ I have many things to say, and to judge of you. Yea, and he who sent me is true. And I speak in the world those things that I have heard from him.

²⁷ However, they did not understand that he was speaking of his Father. ²⁸ Then Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up on high the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father has taught me, even so I speak. ²⁹ And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I do always those things that please him.

³⁰ As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
