John 8:23-27 New Century Version (NCV)

23. Jesus said, “You people are from here below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don’t belong to this world.

24. So I told you that you would die in your sins. Yes, you will die in your sins if you don’t believe that I am he.”

25. They asked, “Then who are you?”Jesus answered, “I am what I have told you from the beginning.

26. I have many things to say and decide about you. But I tell people only the things I have heard from the One who sent me, and he speaks the truth.”

27. The people did not understand that he was talking to them about the Father.
