Then God said once more to Moses: "This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, 'Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation. You go, and you must gather the older men of Israel, and you must say to them, 'Jehovah the God of your forefathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying: "I will without fail give attention to you and to what is being done to you in Egypt.

The Jews answered him: "We are stoning you, not for a fine work, but for blasphemy, even because you, although being a man, make yourself a god." Jesus answered them: "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said: "you are gods"'? If he called 'gods' those against whom the word of God came, and yet the Scripture cannot be nullified, do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, I am God's Son?"

It is according to the working of the mightiness of His strength, which He has worked in the Christ when He raised him up from the dead and seated him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come.

John 8:31-55
"If you remain in my word, you are really my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.". . . Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. . . Jesus said to them: "If God were your Father, you would love me, for from God I came forth and am here. Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth. Why is it you do not know what I am speaking? Because you cannot listen to my word. You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father.". . . In answer the Jews said to him: "Do we not rightly say, You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" Jesus answered: "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. But I am not seeking glory for myself; there is One that is seeking and judging. Most truly I say to you, If anyone observes my word, he will never see death at all." The Jews said to him: "Now we do know you have a demon. Abraham died, also the prophets; but you say, 'If anyone observes my word, he will never taste death at all.' You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died, are you? Also, the prophets died. Who do you claim to be?" 54 Jesus answered: "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, he who you say is your God; 55 and yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I said I do not know him I should be like you, a liar. But I do know him and am observing his word."
