I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other."

"Where is your father?" they asked. Jesus answered, "Since you don't know who I am, you don't know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would also know my Father."

Later Jesus said to them again, "I am going away. You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going."

The people asked, "Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going'?"

Jesus continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.

That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins."

So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I am he. I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me.

I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father."

Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.

Why can't you understand what I am saying? It's because you can't even hear me!

Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I am !"

But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world."

Some said he was, and others said, "No, he just looks like him!" But the beggar kept saying, "Yes, I am the same one!"

so he explained it to them: "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.

Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.

"I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me,

why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God'? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.

But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father."
