John 8:23-30

New International Version

²³ But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.^{(A) 24} I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he,^(B) you will indeed die in your sins.”

²⁵ “Who are you?” they asked.

“Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. ²⁶ “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,^(C) and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”^(D)

²⁷ They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. ²⁸ So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up^[a] the Son of Man,^(E) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.^{(F) 29} The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone,^(G) for I always do what pleases him.”^{(H) 30} Even as he spoke, many believed in him.^(I)
