John Chapter 8, Verse 28
From BibleWiki
28: ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους οταν υψωσητε τον υιον του ανθρωπου τοτε γνωσεσθε οτι εγω ειμι και απ εμαυτου ποιω ουδεν αλλα καθως εδιδαξεν με ο πατηρ μου ταυτα λαλω
28: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
28: Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the
Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of
myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak.
When ye have lifted up. When you have crucified. See Barnes "Jn 3:14, See Barnes "Jn 12:32".
The Son of man. See "Mt 8:19, Mt 8:20".
Then shall ye know. Then shall you have evidence or proof.
That I am he. Am the Messiah, which I have professed to be.
And that I do nothing of myself. That is, you shall have proof that God has sent me; that I am the Messiah; and that God concurs with me and approves my doctrine. This proof was furnished by the miracles that attended the death of Jesus -- the earthquake and darkness; but chiefly by his resurrection from the dead, which proved, beyond a doubt, that he was what he affirmed he was -- the Messiah.
