Lifted up
See on Joh 3:14.
Ye shall know (γνωÌσεσθε)
Render, perceive, here as in Joh 8:27.
I am He
As in Joh 8:24, on which see note.
Of myself (ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ)
Properly, from myself, as Rev., at Joh 7:17, but not here. See on Joh 7:17.
Hath taught (ἐδιÌδαξεν)
Rev., more correctly, taught. The aorist tense, regarding the teaching as a single act. Compare ἠÌκουσα, I heard, Joh 3:32.
I speak these things (παῦτα λαλῶ)
Not equivalent to so I speak (i.e., as the Father taught me), but an absolute declaration with reference to these present revelations.
