23. He said to them, “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world.
24. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25. So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I told you from the beginning.
26. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world.”
27. They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father.
