42. In the following passage from John [it may be shown], that the Human of the Lord is equal to His Divine - "The Jews sought to kill Jesus because He said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. Jesus saith, 'Verily, I say unto you, whatsoever things the Father hath done, these also doeth the Son likewise. As the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will'." [5:18-end].

Add the passages following, chap. 5:18 to the end, and pick out from these where it states that the Human of the Lord is Divine [Zech. 3:8; Micah 5:2].

There are many passages in Revelation, which should first be read, also the Prophets of the Old Testament and the Gospels whence passages may be gathered.
