John 8:1414 Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is

valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.

John 8:2323 But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of

this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:3838 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do

what you have heard from your father.“

John 8:4242 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I

came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.

John 16:2828 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the

world and going back to the Father."
