13. Therefore, the Perushim said to him, You give solemn edut (testimony) about yourself. But your edut is not ne'emanah.
14. In reply, he said to them, Even if I give solemn edut about myself, my edut is ne'emanah, because I have da'as of where I came from and where I go, but you have no da'as of where I come from or where I go.
15. You judge according to the basar; I do not judge anyone. [1Sm 16:7]
16. But even if I judge, my psak din, my mishpat, is emes, because it is not I alone but the One having sent me, HaAv.
17. And it has been written even in your Torah, that the edut (testimony) of two is ne'emanah. [Dt 17:6; 19:15]
18. Ani Hu the one giving solemn edut (testimony) about myself and the One having sent me, HaAv, gives solemn edut about me.
19. Therefore, they were saying to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Where is HaAv of you? In reply, he said, You have da'as of neither me nor HaAv of me. If you had had da'as of me, you would have had da'as of HaAv of me.
20. These dvarim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke in the Beis HaOtzar while saying shiurim in the Beis Hamikdash, and no one arrested him, because his sha'ah had not yet come.
21. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, therefore, again to them, I go away and you will seek me, and in your chet you will go to your mavet. Where I go you are not able to come. [Dt 24:16; Ezek 3:18]
22. Therefore, those of Yehudah were saying, Does he mean he will commit suicide, because he says, Where I go you are not able to come?
23. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, You are from mattah (below); Ani Hu from ma'lah (above). You are of the Olam Hazeh; I am not of the Olam Hazeh.
24. I said, therefore, to you that you will go to your mavet in your averos (sins), for if you do not have emunah (faith) that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], you will die in your chatta'im.
25. They were saying, therefore, to him, Who are you? Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Why should I even speak to you at all?
26. I have much to speak regarding you, much about you worthy of harsha'ah (condemnation), but the One having sent me is ne'eman and what I heard from Him these things I speak in the Olam Hazeh.
27. They did not have da'as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking to them about Elohim HaAv.
28. Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When you perform the hagbah (lifting up) of the Ben HaAdam, you will have da'as that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], and from myself I do nothing, but as HaAv of me taught me, these things I speak.
