18 Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.+

9 For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position+ and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,+ 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground+— 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord+ to the glory of God the Father.

15 which the happy and only Potentate will show in its* own appointed times. He is the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,+

14 These will battle with the Lamb,+ but because he is Lord of lords and King of kings,+ the Lamb will conquer them.+ Also, those with him who are called and chosen and faithful will do so.”+
