- Once more Jesus said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come."
- This made the Jews ask, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"
- But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
- I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."
- "Who are you?" they asked. "Just what I have been claiming all along," Jesus replied.
|
- Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."
- So the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
- And He was saying to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
- "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
- So they were saying to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?
|
- "I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is reliable, and what I have heard from him I tell the world."
- They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
- So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
- The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him."
- Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.
|
- "I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."
- They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.
- So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.
- "And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."
- As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.
