What Happened
Jesus declares something that He has never declared before as He experiences something that He has never experienced before.
John 8:28–29 ESV
So Jesus said to them, “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 authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
