John 8:25-30

²⁵Then they asked him, “Who are you?” “Exactly who I told you I was from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

²⁶“There's much I could say about you, and much I could condemn. But the one who sent me tells the truth, and what I'm saying to you here in this world is what I heard from him.”

²⁷They didn't understand that he was talking to them about the Father. So Jesus explained to them:

²⁸“When you have lifted up the Son of man then you'll know that I am the ‘I am,’ and that I do nothing of myself, but only say what the Father taught me.

²⁹The one who sent me is with me; he has not abandoned me, for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰Many who heard Jesus say these things put their trust in him.
