John 8:29
27 They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
28 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, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
