John 8:27 Context
25Then said they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saith vnto them, Euen the same that I saide vnto you from the beginning. 26I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: But hee that sent mee is true, and I speake to the world, those things which I haue heard of him. 27They vnderstood not that hee spake to them of the Father. 28Then saide Iesus vnto them, When yee haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe: but as my Father hath taught mee, I speake these things. 29And he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left mee alone: for I doe alwayes those things that please him.
