Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹² Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ¹³ The Pharisees said to him, You bear witness of yourself; your witness is not true.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear witness of myself, yet my witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going. ¹⁵ You judge after the flesh. I judge no one; ¹⁶ and yet if I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and the Father who sent me. ¹⁷ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am one who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.

¹⁹ Then they said to him, Where is your father?

Jesus answered, You know neither me, nor yet my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. And no man laid hands on him, for his time was not yet come.

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.
