John 8:25-28

25So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus replied, “What I have told you from the beginning.

26I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the Father who sent me is truthful, and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.”

27(They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)

28Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.
