They vnderstood not that hee spake to them of the Father.
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
Then saide Iesus vnto them, When yee haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe: but as my Father hath taught mee, I speake these things.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
And he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left mee alone: for I doe alwayes those things that please him.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Then said Iesus to those Iewes which beleeued on him, If ye continue in my word, then are yee my disciples indeed.
