John 8:28, 42, 47 Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” | New King James Version (NKJV)
