Exegesis
The content clause gnosesthe hoti ego eimi {γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι | gnṓsesthe hóti egō eimi} makes the lifting up the occasion for recognition; ego eimi is left absolute, so the phrase functions as a self-identifying claim rather than a complete sentence with an expressed predicate.
Root and etymology

“to say, speak”
In context — John 8:28
Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am, and I do nothing from Myself; but just as the Father taught Me, I speak these things.”
