John 8:23-30 he who sent me is RELIABLE (vs 26, NIV), lift up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am (vs 28), the Father taught me (vs 28), always do what pleases him (vs 29).
John 8:21-29
[21]Again Jesus said to them, “I will go away; you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot go where I am going.”
[22]So the Jewish authorities said, “He says that we cannot go where he is going. Does this mean that he will kill himself?”
[23]Jesus answered, “You belong to this world here below, but I come from above. You are from this world, but I am not from this world.
[24]That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. And you will die in your sins if you do not believe that ‘I Am Who I Am’.”
[25]“Who are you?” they asked him.Jesus answered, “What I have told you from the very beginning.
[26]I have much to say about you, much to condemn you for. The one who sent me, however, is truthful, and I tell the world only what I have heard from him.”
[27]They did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about the Father.
[28]So he said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say.
[29]And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”
