Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Book of John Chapter 8 - Read Chapter 8:21 - [In Context ]Again, Jesus said to the people, "I will leave you. You will look for me, but you will die with your sin. You cannot come where I am going."
8:22 - [In Context ]So the Jewish leaders asked themselves, "Will Jesus kill himself? Is that why he said, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"
8:23 - [In Context ]But Jesus said to those Jews, "You people are from here below. But I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don't belong to this world.
8:24 - [In Context ]I told you that you would die with your sins. Yes, you will die with your sins, if you don't believe that I AM. F133 "
8:25 - [In Context ]The Jews asked, "Then who are you?" Jesus answered, "I am what I have told you from the beginning.
8:26 - [In Context ]I have many things I could say to judge you. But I tell people only the things I have heard from the One that sent me. And he speaks the truth."
8:27 - [In Context ]These Jews did not understand who Jesus was talking about. Jesus was telling them about the Father (God).
8:28 - [In Context ]So Jesus said to them, "You will lift up (kill) the Son of Man. F134 Then you will know that I AM. F135 You will know that these things I do are not by my own authority (power). You will know that I say only the things that the Father has taught me.
8:29 - [In Context ]The One (God) who sent me is with me. I always do what pleases him. So he has not left me alone."
FOOTNOTES: F133: I AM This is like the name of God used in Ex. 3:14, but it can also mean "I am he (the Christ)."
F134: Son of Man A name Jesus used for himself. In Dan. 7:13-14, this is the name for the Messiah, the one God chose to save his people.
F135: I AM This is like the name of God used in Ex. 3:14, but it can also mean "I am he (the Christ)."
