John 8:21-30

New American Standard Bible

²¹ Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and ^(A)you will look for Me, and ^(B)will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” ²² So ^(C)the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘^(D)Where I am going, you cannot come’?” ²³ And He was saying to them, “^(E)You are from below, I am from above; ^(F)you are of this world, ^(G)I am not of this world. ²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you ^(H)will die in your sins; for unless you believe that ^[a](I)I am, ^(J)you will die in your sins.” ²⁵ Then they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “^[b]What have I even been saying to you from the beginning? ²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge regarding you, but ^(K)He who sent Me is true; and ^(L)the things which I heard from Him, these I say to the world.” ²⁷ They did not realize that He was speaking to them about the Father. ²⁸ So Jesus said, “When you ^(M)lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that ^[c](N)I am, and ^(O)I do nothing ^[d]on My own, but I say these things as the Father instructed Me. ²⁹ And He who sent Me is with Me; ^(P)He ^[e]has not left Me alone, for ^(Q)I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” ³⁰ As He said these things, ^(R)many came to believe in Him.
