Job 9:2, 8: Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be in the right before God? . . . Who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea

Matthew 14:24-25: but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night He [Jesus] came to them, walking on the sea.

26. Only God is the Holy, Holy, Holy One Whose glory fills the whole earth:

Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!”

John 12:37-41: Though He [Jesus] had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in Him, so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” Isaiah said these things because he saw His [Jesus'] glory and spoke of Him [Jesus].

Mark 14:61-64: But He remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked Him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need?
