Do you truly believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The things I have told you don’t come from me. The Father lives in me, and he is doing his own work.
I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them. The world hated these men, because they don’t belong to the world, the same as I don’t belong to the world.
I gave these men the teachings that you gave me. They accepted those teachings. They know that I truly came from you. And they believed that you sent me.
“The One (Jesus) that comes from above is greater than all other people. The person that is from the earth belongs to the earth. That person talks about things that are on the earth. But the One (Jesus) that comes from heaven is greater than all other people.
“I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told. So my judgment is right. Why? Because I don’t try to please myself. But I want to please the One (God) who sent me.
The Father is the One who sent me. And the Father is the One who brings people to me. I will raise up those people on the last day. If the Father does not bring a person to me, then that person cannot come to me.
So Jesus said to them, “You will lift up (kill) the Son of Man. {\cf2\super [134]} Then you will know that I AM. {\cf2\super [135]} You will know that these things I do are not by my own authority (power). You will know that I say only the things that the Father has taught me.
This is the revelation {\cf2\super [1]} of Jesus Christ. God gave Jesus these things to show his servants what must happen soon. Christ sent his angel to show these things to his servant John.
