but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me."

So Jesus said, "I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."

What does He mean by saying, 'You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,' and, 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus replied, "Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone when I judge; I am with the Father, who sent Me.

I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me."

Again He said to them, "I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."

So the Jews began to ask, "Will He kill Himself, since He says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"

Then He told them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

So Jesus said, "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, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.

"Truly, truly, I tell you," Jesus declared, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Some claimed that he was, but others said, "No, he just looks like him." But the man kept saying, "I am the one."

So He said to them again, "Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
