John 8:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ I have many things to say and ·decide about you [or condemn/judge you for]. But I tell ·people [the world] only the things I have heard from the One who sent me, and he speaks the truth.”

²⁷ The people did not understand that he was talking to them about the Father. ²⁸ So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up [^Con the cross] the Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14], you will know that ·I am he [^LI am; ^Csee 8:24]. You will know that these things I do are not ·by my own authority [on my own] but that I say only what the Father has taught me.
