12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, 13 but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not 14 true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither 15 I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. Ye judge 16 after the flesh; I judge no man. Yea and if I judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is 18 true [_see Deut. 17:6; 19:15_]. I am he that beareth witness of 19 myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my 20 Father also. These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come. § 99. THE PHARISEES ATTEMPT TO STONE JESUS WHEN HE EXPOSES THEIR SINFULNESS Jerusalem, probably in the Temple John 8:21-59 21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek 22 me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that [1]I am _he_, ye shall die in your sins. 25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, [2]Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, 27 these speak I [3]unto the world. They perceived not that he spake 28 to them of the Father. Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that [4]I am _he_, and _that_ I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these 29 things. And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; 30 for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. As he spake these things, many believed on him. 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye 32 abide in my word, _then_ are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall 33 know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered unto him, We be Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage 34 to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
