Acts 3:17
17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things which God (So The Father Not Jesus)foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,(The Father) 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,[a] 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God(=Father) has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God(=father) will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him(Jesus) you shall hear in all things, whatever He(Jesus) says to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet(Is God A Prophet?) shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’[b] 24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold[c] these days. 25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God(=father) made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’[d] 26 To you first, God,(=father) having raised up His(God has Servants) Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” (Jesus mission Statement.) Acts 2:22“Men of Israel, listen to what I say: Yeshua from Nazareth was a man whom God brought to your attention. You know that through this man God worked miracles, did amazing things, and gave signs. Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His servant Jesus, 26. To you first, God having raised up His servant Jesus. Acts 4:24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice with one accord and said: “Lord” You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, who by the mouth of your servant David said: (The father has many servants) Acts 3:18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has fulfilled.21 Which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet(Jesus) like me from your brethren.(The line of David) Heb.1:1 GOD who in various times and in different ways spoke to the fathers by the Prophets, 2. Has in these last days spoken to us by His son, 5. For to which of the angels did he ever say: You are My son today I have begotten You.

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know [be one with] thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Christ came to reveal and glorify the Father! The one who became Jesus Christ was the Creator and God of Abraham and Moses. Consider how much he gave up to be made flesh and die for his creation?
17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Christ plainly says that he was WITH the Father and had a glory WITH the Father; BEFORE the very world began!
It was the glory that was with the father from the foundation the plan of the world. John 17:22 And the glory which you gave Me I have given them. (I wasn’t born yet either were you yet that glory for you and me was in Gods’ plan as it was for Jesus.
