17 Your own Law says that the witness of two is what counts.
18 I give witness about myself. My other witness is the Father, who sent me."
19 Then they asked him, "Where is your father?" "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 He spoke these words while he was teaching in the temple area. He was near the place where the offerings were put. But no one arrested him. His time had not yet come.
21 Once more Jesus spoke to them. "I am going away," he said. "You will look for me, and you will die in your sin. You can't come where I am going."
22 This made the Jews ask, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'You can't come where I am going'?"
23 But Jesus said, "You are from below. I am from heaven. You are from this world. I am not from this world.
