John 8:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 [a]Then said they unto him, Where is that Father of thine? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor the Father of mine. If ye had known me, ye should have known that Father of mine also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the [b]treasury, as he taught in the Temple, and no man laid hands on him: [c]for his hour was not yet come.
21 [d]Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins, Whither I go, can ye not come.
