Jesus Deity Claims/ Jesus OT ← → NT:

The Trinity Shown:
1:1-13
2:3-4 = Lord, God, Holy Spirit
2:11-13 = Messiah trust in God, and God gives Messiah His children, as Messiah is not the Father in being
3:6 = Father Son unity
3:7-11 = Father says, Jesus says, here Holy Spirit says
4:14-16 = Jesus the Son of God
5:5-6 = Father Son unity, priest forever… forever is before and after, as God has existed forever
5:8 = Father Son unity
6:4-6 = Holy Spirit and the Son of God… if there is a Son, there must be a Father
6:20 = Jesus Priest of God forever
7:17, 21 =  Jesus Priest of God forever
7:28 = Son
8:1 = Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father
9:8 =  Holy Spirit
9:14 = Christ through the Spirit offered Himself to the Father
10:5-7 = Jesus saying to the Father
10:12-17 = Jesus sits at the right hand of God, and the Holy Spirit speaks
10:29-30 = Son of God and Spirit
11:26 = Christ eternal, as shown here that Moses knew Christ
12:2 = the Son sits at the right hand of the Father
12:9-10 = the Father
12:23-24 = Father and Jesus
12:29 = the demons throughout the gospels would declare Jesus is the Son of God, and they would ask Him if He had come to torture them before the appointed time. Where are the demons tortured? Hell which is thrown into the Lake of Fire. Daniel 7:10 mentions a river of fire flowing from God… 12:29 says God is an all consuming fire (Deut. 4:24)
13:20-21 = Father and Jesus

Culture/Time:
11:35 = this could be generally speaking of the wife's husband or son. If it is about sons coming back from the dead, for example with the case of Elija or Elisha, and with Jesus in Luke 7:11-16, if the husband of the woman already died, then it would be the first-born son that would take care of the mother. Since with Jesus this was the case, Jesus had compassion on the woman and raised her son so that she wouldn’t die of starvation so as to the son could provide for her
