New Testament

John 8:12-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

13. And so the Pharisees said to him, "You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true."

14. Jesus responded and said to them: "Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.

15. You judge according to the flesh. I do not judge anyone.

16. And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.

17. And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

18. I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me."

19. Therefore, they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered: "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also."

20. Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.

21. Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: "I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go."

22. And so the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, for he said: 'Where I am going, you are not able to go?' "

23. And he said to them: "You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

24. Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin."
