Read John 8 in full →I Am the Light of the World
12Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “aI am the Light of the world; bhe who follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13So the Pharisees said to Him, “aYou are bearing witness about Yourself; Your witness is not 1true.” 14Jesus answered and said to them, “aEven if I bear witness about Myself, My witness is 1true, for I know bwhere I came from and where I am going; but cyou do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15“aYou judge 1according to the flesh; bI am not judging anyone. 16“But even aif I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17“Even in ayour law it has been written that the witness of btwo men is 1true. 18“I am He who bears witness about Myself, and athe Father who sent Me bears witness about Me.” 19So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; aif you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20These words He spoke in athe treasury, as bHe was teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because cHis hour had not yet come.
21Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and ayou will seek Me, and bwill die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22So athe Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, since He says, ‘bWhere I am going, you cannot come’?” 23And He was saying to them, “aYou are from below, I am from above. bYou are of this world, cI am not of this world. 24“Therefore I said to you that you awill die in your sins. For unless you believe that 1,bI am He, cyou will die in your sins.” 25So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “1What have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26“I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but aHe who sent Me is true; and bthe things which I heard from Him, these I am saying to the world.” 27They did not know that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28So Jesus said, “When you alift up the Son of Man, then you will know that 1,bI am He, and cI do nothing from Myself, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29“And He who sent Me is with Me; aHe 1has not left Me alone, for bI always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30As He was speaking these things, amany believed in Him.
