(12)Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. (13)The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. (14)Jesus answered and said to them: Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. (15)Ye judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. (16)And even if I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. (17)It is written also in your law, that the witness of two men is true. (18)I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me. (19)They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. (20)These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come. (21)Again therefore he said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and shall die in your sin. Whither I go, ye can not come. (22)The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself? because he says: Whither I go, ye can not 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 if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (25)Therefore they said to him: Who art thou? And Jesus said to them: That which I also say to you from the beginning. (26)I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world. (27)They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father. (28)Therefore Jesus said to them: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but as the Father taught me, those things I speak. (29)And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone; because I do always the things that please him. (30)As he spoke these words many believed on him. (31)Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples; (32)and ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (33)They answered him: We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to any one. How sayest thou: Ye shall be made free? (34)Jesus answered them: Verily, verily, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a servant of sin. (35)And the servant abides not in the house forever. (36)The Son abides forever; if therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed. (37)I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. (38)I speak what I have seen with my Father; and ye therefore do what ye have heard from your father.
