14. Jesus answered, “Yes, I am saying these things about myself, but they are true. I know where I came from and where I am going. But you don’t know where I came from or where I am going.
15. You judge by human standards. I am not judging anyone.
16. But when I do judge, I judge truthfully, because I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
17. Your own law says that when two witnesses say the same thing, you must accept what they say.
18. I am one of the witnesses who speaks about myself, and the Father who sent me is the other witness.”
19. They asked, “Where is your father?”Jesus answered, “You don’t know me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father, too.”
20. Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the Temple, near where the money is kept. But no one arrested him, because the right time for him had not yet come.
21. Again, Jesus said to the people, “I will leave you, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot come where I am going.”
22. So the Jews asked, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he said, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
