Context
Where Jesus Came From and Where He is Going
8:21 Then Jesus said to them again , “I am going away , and you will look for me but will die in your sin . Where I am going you cannot come .”
8:22 So the Jewish leaders began to say , “Perhaps he is going to kill himself , because he says , ‘Where I am going you cannot come .’”
8:23 Jesus replied , “You people are from below ; I am from above . You people are from this world ; I am not from this world .
8:24 Thus I told you that you will die in your sins . For unless you believe that I am he , you will die in your sins .”
8:25 So they said to him , “Who are you ?” Jesus replied , “What I have told you from the beginning .
8:26 I have many things to say and to judge about you , but the Father who sent me is truthful , and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world .”
8:27 (They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father .)
8:28 Then Jesus said , “When you lift up the Son of Man , then you will know that I am he , and I do nothing on my own initiative , but I speak just what the Father taught me .
8:29 And the one who sent me is with me . He has not left me alone , because I always do those things that please him .”
8:30 While he was saying these things , many people believed in him .
