Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”
Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
Indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur you may believe that I am he.
I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.”
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am he and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father instructed me.
