John 8:22 Context
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. 24I said therefore vnto you, that ye shall die in your sinnes. For if yee beleeue not that I am hee, yee shall die in your sinnes.
