Jesus Is Equal with God

¹⁸ This was why the Jews ^(A)were seeking all the more to kill him, ^(B)because not only was he ^(C)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God ^(D)his own Father, ^(E)making himself equal with God.

²³ that all may honor the Son, just as they ^(A)honor the Father. ^(B)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, ^(A)I am.”

^30 (A)I and the Father are one.”

^31 (B)The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. ³² Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” ³³ The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but ^(C)for blasphemy, because you, being a man, ^(D)make yourself God.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? ^(A)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

⁷ “Why does this man speak like that? ^(A)He is blaspheming! ^(B)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

²⁶ And then they will see ^(A)the Son of Man coming in clouds ^(B)with great power and glory.

²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks ^(A)blasphemies? ^(B)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

^8 (A)“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, ^(B)“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
