Jesus, the Christ: Son of God

I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’

I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” …

While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”

Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,

The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

…and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. …

For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. …

So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does. …

…so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

…not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only He has seen the Father.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”

“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

…but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.” …

I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” …

…just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

I and the Father are one.”

…then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God? …

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

Jesus knew that the Father had delivered all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God.

If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? …

And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples. …

Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. …

“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

…regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

…and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.

For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

…to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,

But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

…... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

…and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. …

For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

…and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

…and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.

Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. …

The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.

And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.

This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.

Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.

I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze.
