--JOHN CHAPTER 8 --(JESUS'S WORDS / IN RED)
--[Jesus's conversation with the Pharisees. = Please read ALL of JOHN Chapter 8 ]-- bible

(VS 12-30 selected verses) Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. Even if I testify 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.
.
"You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me, [are One].

"Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true. I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me testifies about Me."

You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.

"You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

[So they were asking to Him "Who are You?"] Jesus said to them, "What have I been saying to you from the beginning?
"I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

[They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.]
So 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 these things as the Father taught Me.
"And He who sent Me is with Me; and He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to My Father."

(VS.30) 'As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.'

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, (Vs. 31-32) - "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." angelwing

**If you are reading this and have not yet received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say a prayer of repentance and confession. Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart (life). He never turns away a sincere seeker. Jesus loves you. No matter what you may have done in your life, if you ask Jesus to forgive you and repent, He will forgive and accept you.
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. "Whoever will call on the Name of the LORD will be saved." --[Romans Chapter 10: 9,10,13]

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
