[MUSIC PLAYING] I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 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. 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 and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Where is thy Father? Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Who art thou? Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, do always those things that please him. And if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God. Why can ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. And hast thou seen Abraham? Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am. [GASPS] [MUSIC PLAYING]
