![]() On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you'” (John 14:7-11, 20).Īnd He blessed Peter for acknowledging His Divinity: “Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 16:16-17).Īt the end of His ministry, Jesus declared His Sonship to the Father when He prayed, “Father, the time has come…Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began'” (John 17:1-5). Jesus professed His divinity to His disciples, “ Philip said, ‘Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.’ Jesus answered: ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father…Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.’ Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp” (John 10:36-39). ![]() Then, Jesus said to them, “Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, “I am God’s Son”? Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. ![]() The Jews understood that Jesus was claiming divinity and they tried to kill Him for blasphemy. He added, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). ‘If you knew me, you would know my Father also'” (John 8:19). And He said, “‘I tell you the truth’… ‘before Abraham was born, I am!'” (John 8:58).Īnd again He said that He is One with the Father: “Then they asked him, ‘Where is your father?’ ‘You do not know me or my Father,’ Jesus replied. You do not know him, but I know him because I am from him and he sent me'” (John 7:28-29). I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. Jesus claimed equality with God the Father when He “said to them, ‘My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.’ For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God” (John 5:17-18).Īlso, Jesus said to the Jews “you know me, and you know where I am from. Let’s examine the words of Jesus about His Diety: When God called Moses to lead the nation of Israel out of Egypt, He told Moses to tell the nation that “I AM” has sent you (Exodus 3:13-15). For He repeatedly declared, “I AM.” The phrase “I AM” is a title for God. Jesus’ Sacrificial Death Proves His Divinity “I Am” – God’s Title
