The document contains several Bible passages that discuss the identity and role of Jesus Christ. It describes Jesus asking his disciples who they say he is, with Peter correctly identifying him as the Christ/Son of God. It also references prophecies about a virgin giving birth, Jesus saving people from their sins and having various names like Immanuel meaning "God with us." Additionally, it discusses Jesus being the mediator between God and humanity and laying down his life to purchase the church with his blood. The overall message is about defining who Jesus is as the Son of God and savior of mankind.
2. Matthew 16:13-18
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of
Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,
saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of
man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art
John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others,
Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
3. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye
that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living
God.
4. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art
Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.
5. Isaiah 43:10-11
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and
my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may
know and believe me, and understand that I
am he: before me there was no God formed,
neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me
there is no saviour.
6. James 2:17-19
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is
dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith,
and I have works: shew me thy faith
without thy works, and I will shew thee my
faith by my works.
7. 19 Thou believest that there is one God;
thou doest well: the devils also believe, and
tremble.
8. Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a
sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
9. Matthew 1:21-23
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou
shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his
people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.
10. Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
11. I Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest in
the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed
on in the world, received up into glory.
12. Colossians 2:8-9
8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, and not after
Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily.
13. Hebrews 9:15-17
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of
the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that
were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance.
14. 16 For where a testament is, there must also
of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are
dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all
while the testator liveth.
15. Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to
all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost
hath made you overseers, to feed the church
of God, which he hath purchased with his
own blood.
16. John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
17. I John 3:16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because
he laid down his life for us: and we ought to
lay down our lives for the brethren.
18. Ephesians 4:4-6
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as
ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above
all, and through all, and in you all.
