Jesus and His God

For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son, [23] that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him. — John 5:22-23, World English . John 5:23 is often cited as proof that Jesus is Jehovah, or a person of Jehovah.
