John 8:12-29
Jesus the Light of the World
12 Then spake 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.
12:
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
13:
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.
14:
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
15:
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
16:
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
17:
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
18:
19 Then said they 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.
19:
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
20:
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
21:
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
22:
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.
23:
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.
24:
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even [the same] that I said unto you from the beginning.
25:
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.
26:
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
27:
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.
28:
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.
29:
