[8:13] The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
[8:14] Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for 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. [8:15] You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. [8:16] Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. [8:17] It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.[*] [8:18] I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
[8:19] They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?"
Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also." [8:20] Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. [8:21] Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come."
[8:22] The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
[8:23] He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. [8:24] I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that [I am] he, you will die in your sins."
[8:25] They said therefore to him, "Who are you?"
Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. [8:26] I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
[8:27] They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father. [8:28] Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. [8:29] He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
[8:30] As he spoke these things, many believed in him. [8:31] Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. [8:32] You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."[*]
