²⁸ Then Jesus said to them, “When you ^(A)lift^[a] up the Son of Man, ^(B)then you will know that I am He, and ^(C)that I do nothing of Myself; but ^(D)as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

^30 (A)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because ^(B)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

⁴⁹ For ^(A)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, ^(B)what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I ^(C)speak.”

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, ^(A)not to do My own will, ^(B)but the will of Him who sent Me.

^14 (A)And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so ^(B)must the Son of Man be lifted up,

⁴ and ^(A)declared to be the Son of God with power according ^(B)to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

^15 (A)who killed both the Lord Jesus and ^(B)their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God ^(C)and are ^[a]contrary to all men, ^16 (D)forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always ^(E)to fill up the measure of their sins; ^(F)but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

⁴ However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
