Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

22

23

And he said to them, You are of the earth I am from heaven: you are of this world I am not of this world.

24

For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

25

Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

26

I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

27

They did not see that his words were about the Father.

28

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

29

He who sent me is with me he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

When he said this a number came to have faith in him.
