I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place 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 know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me.
