John 8:28-30

_ _ When ye have lifted up the Son of man — The plainest intimation He had yet given in public of the manner and the authors of His death.

_ _ then shall ye know that I am he, etc. — that is, find out, or have sufficient evidence, how true was all He said, though they would be far from owning it.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:21-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 8:28

When ye shall have lifted up — On the cross, ye shall know — And so many of them did, that I AM — God over all; and that I do nothing of myself — Being one with the Father.
