Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.” 25 They said to him, “Who are yoʋ?” Jesus said to them, “Exactly what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say about you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I tell the world what I have heard from him.” 27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.) 28 So Jesus said [fn]to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own authority, but I speak these things just as [fn]my Father taught me. 29 He who sent me is with me. [fn]The Father has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” 30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
