For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
I've shared with them everything you told me to say, and they actually got it. They know for sure that I came from you, and they believe you're the one who sent me.
When God's truth clicks, it really clicks, and people just know.
