Proving Jesus Is God John 10:22-33 and Mark 10:42-45 Bob Holloway July 29, 2023 John 5: 17-18 My Father is always at work to this very day, and I too am working. The Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus for two reasons: first, He had broken the Sabbath, but even worse, He said that God was His father, making himself equal with God. Mark 14:61-62 61 But Jesus kept quiet and did not say a word. The high priest asked him another question, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the glorious God?” 62 “Yes, I am!” Jesus answered. “Soon you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of God All-Powerful, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Psalm 110:1 The Lord said to my lord, sit at my right hand until I Make your enemies a footstool for your feet. John 5:23 Honor the Son as you honor the Father. John 5: 26 The Father has life in Himself and so does the Son. Matthew 11: 27 No one knows the Son except the Father; no one knows the Father except the Son. Matthew 16:16-17 – Matthew quotes Peter as answering Jesus’s question about who Peter thought Jesus was. “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” Jesus accepts the title and calls Peter blessed, because “God the Father has revealed it to you”. John 10: 22-33 22 That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Temple Festival. 23 One day he was walking in the part of the temple known as Solomon's Porch,[a] 24 and the people gathered all around him. They said, “How long are you going to keep us guessing? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!” 25 Jesus answered: I have told you, and you refused to believe me. The things I do by my Father's authority show who I am. 26 But since you are not my sheep, you don't believe me. 27 My sheep know my voice, and I know them. They follow me, 28 and I give them eternal life, so that they will never be lost. No one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father gave them to me, and he is greater than all others.[b] No one can snatch them from his hands, 30 and I am one with the Father. 31 Once again the people picked up stones in order to kill Jesus. 32 But he said, “I have shown you many good things my Father sent me to do. Which one are you going to stone me for?” 33 They answered, “We are not stoning you because of any good thing you did. We are stoning you because you did a terrible thing. You are just a man, and here you are claiming to be God!” John 8:58 Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am! Ref: Exodus 3:14 – “I Am the Eternal God, so tell them that The Lord, whose name is “I Am”, has sent you. This is my name forever.” Daniel 7:13-14 13 As I continued to watch the vision that night, I saw what looked like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven, and he was presented to the Eternal God. 14 He was crowned king and given power and glory, so that all people of every nation and race would serve him. He will rule forever, and his kingdom is eternal, never to be destroyed. Luke 22:27 Who do people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a servant. John 13:3-20 Jesus washes the disciples feet. Mark 10: 42-45 42 But Jesus called the disciples together and said: You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the people they rule. 43 But don't act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others. 44 And if you want to be first, you must be everyone's slave. 45 The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many people. Parallels in Jesus’s words in both New and Old Testaments: John 10:11 <---------------------------------------> Psalm 23:1 “I am the Good Shepherd.” John 5:27 <-----------------------------------------> Joel 3:12 “The Judge of all people.” Matthew 25:1 <----------------------------------> Isaiah 62:5 “The Bridegroom.” Mark 2:5 <-----------------------------------> Psalm 103:8-12 “Forgiver of sins.” Additional Scriptural Proof Jesus is God: Equality with God the Father: Matthew 28:18 Pray in Jesus’s name: John 14:13-14 Believe in Jesus for salvation: John 3:18 Jesus referred as “God” (Theos): John 1:1,18; 20:28 Romans 9:5 Titus 2:13 Jesus referred to as “Eternal”: Revelation 1:17 Deuteronomy 33:27 Jesus as “Creator of All Things”: John 1:3 Colossians 1:16 1 Peter 4:19 Jesus is omnipresent: Matthew 28:20 Acts 17:27-28 Jesus is the “Receiver of Worship”: Matthew 14:33 Philippians 2:10 Hebrews 1:6 Salvation found only in Jesus: Acts 4:12 Hebrews 1:18 2 Peter 1:1 Exodus 20:1-5 Deuteronomy 5:6-9 To explain: “I am God” John 10: 22-33 22 That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Temple Festival. 23 One day he was walking in the part of the temple known as Solomon's Porch, 24 and the people gathered all around him.
