Hebrews 2:9-15
But we do see Jesus— made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone— crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering in death.For in bringing many sons to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God— all things exist for Him and through Him— should make the source of their salvation perfect through sufferings.For the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers,saying: I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing hymns to You in the congregation.Again, I will trust in Him. And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me.Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death— that is, the Devil—and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.

Hebrews 1:2-3
In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe through Him.The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

John 14:2-4
In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you.If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.You know the way to where I am going.”

John 16:16-22
“ A little while and you will no longer see Me; again a little while and you will see Me.”Therefore some of His disciples said to one another,“ What is this He tells us:‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’; and,‘ because I am going to the Father’?”They said,“ What is this He is saying,‘ A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them,“ Are you asking one another about what I said,‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?“ I assure you: You will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
-
1 Corinthians 15 24-1 Corinthians 15 28
Then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when He abolishes all rule and all authority and power.For He must reign until He puts all His enemies under His feet.The last enemy to be abolished is death.For God has put everything under His feet. But when it says“ everything” is put under Him, it is obvious that He who puts everything under Him is the exception.And when everything is subject to Christ, then the Son Himself will also be subject to the One who subjected everything to Him, so that God may be all in all.

John 10:29-30
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.The Father and I are one.”
-
Hebrews 3:1-4
Therefore, holy brothers and companions in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession;He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was in all God’s household.For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house.Now every house is built by someone, but the One who built everything is God.

-
Philippians 2:6-11
who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage.Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form,He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross.For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name,so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow— of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth—and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 1:17-18

Isaiah 49:5-7
And now, says the Lord, who formed me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him so that Israel might be gathered to Him; for I am honored in the sight of the Lord, and my God is my strength—He says,“ It is not enough for you to be My Servant raising up the tribes of Jacob and restoring the protected ones of Israel. I will also make you a light for the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”This is what the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says to one who is despised, to one abhorred by people, to a servant of rulers:“ Kings will see and stand up, and princes will bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel— and He has chosen you.”

Luke 24:51-53
