²⁸ So Jesus said, “When you ^(A)lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that ^[a](B)I am He, and ^(C)I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

^49 (A)For I did not speak ^[a]on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ^(B)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ I know that ^(C)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ^(D)just as the Father has told Me.”
