John 8:12

John 8:13
13So the Pharisees said to Him, "You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true."
The Counter
John 8:14-20
14Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16Yet even if I do judge, My judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. 18I am the one who bears witness about Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness about Me." 19They said to Him therefore, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would know My Father also." 20These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; but no one arrested Him, because His hour had not yet come.

The Choice
John 8:21-30
21So He said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come." 22So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, since He says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?" 23He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am He you will die in your sins." 25So they said to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. 26I have much to say about you and much to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from Him." 27They did not understand that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28So Jesus said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own authority, but speak just as the Father taught Me. 29And He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him." 30As He was saying these things, many believed in Him.
