17. And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
18. I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
19. They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
20. These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
21. He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.
22. The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
23. And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24. I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
