Jesus Predicts His Departure

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and ayou will seek Me, and bwill die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”  
22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”
23 And He said to them, a“You are from beneath; I am from above. bYou are of this world; I am not of this world.  
24 aTherefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; bfor if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”  
25 Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I ahave been saying to you from the beginning.  
26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but aHe who sent Me is true; and bI speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
