John 8:21 Context
19Then said they vnto him, Where is thy Father? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had knowen mee, yee should haue knowen my Father also. 20These words spake Iesus in the treasury, as hee taught in the Temple: and no man layd hands on him, for his houre was not yet come. 21Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, & shall die in your sinnes: Whither I goe, ye cannot come. 22Then said the Iewes, Will hee kill himselfe? because he saith, Whither I goe, ye cannot come. 23And hee said vnto them, Yee are from beneath, I am from aboue: Yee are of this world, I am not of this world.
