John 8:23

²¹ Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

²² So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
