Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”
Then he instructed his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
I am telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I am he.
Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
Then 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.
