20 He spoke these words while he was teaching in the temple area known as the treasury. No one arrested him, because his time hadn’t yet come.
21 Jesus continued, "I’m going away. You will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you can’t come."
22 The Jewish leaders said, "He isn’t going to kill himself, is he? Is that why he said, ‘Where I’m going, you can’t come’?"
23 He said to them, "You are from below; I’m from above. You are from this world; I’m not from this world.
24 This is why I told you that you would die in your sins. If you don’t believe that I Am, you will die in your sins."
25 "Who are you?" they asked. Jesus replied, "I’m exactly who I have claimed to be from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say in judgment concerning you. The one who sent me is true, and what I have heard from him I tell the world."
