28 Therefore Jesus said: “When once YOU have lifted up+ the Son of man,+ then YOU will know that I am [he],+ and that I do nothing of my own initiative;*+ but just as the Father taught me I speak these things.+

8 because the sayings that you gave me I have given to them,+ and they have received them and have certainly come to know that I came out as your representative,+ and they have believed that you sent me forth.+
