John 8:24 - Forerunner Commentary

John 8:24

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.”

27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you ^alift up the Son of Man, ^bthen you will know that I am He, and ^cthat I do nothing of Myself; but ^das My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

29 And ^aHe who sent Me is with Me. ^bThe Father has not left Me alone, ^cfor I always do those things that please Him.”
