John8:28
When ye have lifted up. When you have crucified. Jn 3:14, Jn 12:32.
The Son of man. Mt 8:19,20.
Then shall ye know. Then shall you have evidence or proof.
That I am he. Am the Messiah, which I have professed to be.
And that I do nothing of myself. That is, you shall have proof that God has sent me; that I am the Messiah; and that God concurs with me and approves my doctrine. This proof was furnished by the miracles that attended the death of Jesus --the earthquake and darkness; but chiefly by his resurrection from the dead, which proved, beyond a doubt, that he was what he affirmed he was-- the Messiah.
(y) "lifted up" Jn 3:14, 12:32
