25
They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning.
26
I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him."
27
They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.
28
So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me.
29
And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him."
30
As he spoke thus, many believed in him.
31
Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,
32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
