1. THEN spake
Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth
me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
2. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself thy
record is not true.
3. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my
record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell
whence I come, and whither I go.
4. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment
is true: for I am not alone, but I come from the Father-Mother who sent me.
5. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I
am one that bear witness of myself, John bore witness of me, and he is a prophet,
and the Spirit of truth that sent me bareth witness of me.
6. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father and thy Mother? Jesus answered,
Ye neither know me, nor my Parent: if ye had known me, ye should have known
my Father and my Mother also.
7. And one said, shew us the Father, shew us the Mother, and we will believe
thee. And he answered saying, if thou hast seen thy brother and felt his love,
thou hast seen the Father, if thou hast seen thy sister and felt her love thou
hast seen the Mother.
8. Far and near, the All Holy knoweth Their own, yea, in each of you, the Fatherhood
and the Motherhood may be seen, for the Father and the Mother are One in God.
9. These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. And
no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. Then said Jesus again
unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins; whither
I go, ye cannot come.
10. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go,
ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above;
ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
11. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe
not that I Am of God, ye shall die in your sins.
12. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus said unto them, Even the
Same that I said unto you from the beginning.
13. I have many things to say which shall judge you: but the Holy One that
sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from
above.
14. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then
shall ye know that I am sent of God, and that I do nothing of myself; but as
the All Holy hath taught me, I speak these things. Who sent me is with me:
the All Holy hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please
the Eternal.
15. As he spake these words, many believed on him, for they said, He is a Prophet
sent from God. Him let us hear.
