Answer 2

You know i just had the answer to this lol... i believe it is when he was talking to the rich man in Mt 19.16-17; also Mk 10.18, Lk 18.19.

It says Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?''

So He (Jesus) said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.''

unless yuor talking about John 14:28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Answer 3

I think that you are talking about John the Baptist, not Jesus. John the Baptist told those he spoke to that Jesus was greater than he. He also said "I must decrease, He must increase".

Jesus told His disciples that He didn't do anything of His own accord but just what God the Father told Him to do. That, however, did not mean that God the Father was greater than God the Son. Jesus said that " I and the Father are one" (check out John 17) and He told the disciples that they had seen the Father because they had seen Him.
In John 1;1-18 the Greek shows that when it says "the Word was God" they are talking of the exact same kind, no difference.

Answer 4

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

Answer 5

Romans1:3-4. because Jesus was human God was Greater than He was.

Answer 6

"You heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am coming [back] to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am." (John 14:28)

There it is: "the Father is greater than I am."

Answer 7

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Answer 8

Those others are right, but also, in the book of John,10:30 "I & my Father are one." And John 14:10 "that I am in the Father, and the Father in me."

Answer 9

"You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you ' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater (meizon) than I." John 14:28

John 14:28
Parallel Translations

KJV: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Answer 10

I think that's in Matthew.

"Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as `Lord,' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. - Matthew 7:21
