Moses, Moses, Moses. [Exodus 3:4] Here I am! Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. When you bring the people out of Egypt, you will serve me on this mountain. When I go to the children of Israel and say, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, What is his name? what shall I say? I am who I am. Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I am has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is my memorial from generation to generation. [Mark 6:50] What?! Hey, look there! It's a ghost! Take courage! Do not be afraid. I am. [John 8:48] You are a Samaritan and have a demon. I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also, but you say, If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do you claim to be? Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad! You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?!

Strike him! [John 18:5-6] Whom do you seek? Jesus of Nazareth, I AM! [Mark 14:62] Do you not answer? What do these testify against you? I command you, by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God? I am... And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming with the clouds of heaven. Did you hear the blasphemy?! What need do we have of witnesses anymore?! Be careful! He deserves to die! Prophesy, Christ! Speak the truth! Subtitles: @menestrelXXI
