John 5:19

Then answered Jesus. To their charge of blasphemy. He shows that there is the closest co-operation between the Father and Son. What the Father does the Son will do, even to the extent of giving life to the dead.

John 8:36

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. If you would be free indeed you must have the freedom that the Son bestows, and become children. In order to fully comprehend the figure, read Ga 4:19-21.

John 8:56

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, etc. Saw it in promise by prophetic vision; whether or not "Abraham was greater" (Joh 8:53), he rejoiced in the hope of the revelation of Christ.

John 8:58

Before Abraham was, I am. A solemn and official declaration, preceded by "Verily, verily" (see PNT Joh 3:3). The utterance is a remarkable one. It does not merely assert that he was before Abraham, but before Abraham was, I AM. It identifies with the I AM of the Old Testament. Divinity has no past tense, no future tense, but always the present.

John 9:36
