28So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up on a cross to kill me, you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own authority. Instead, I say just what my Father has taught me.
29He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
30As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he was ◄ from God/the Messiah►.
31Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to live in accordance with my message, you will truly be my disciples.
