Raised by the caller to argue that Jesus was given authority after resurrection; the host responded by saying the relevant statement came after Christ's mission, not before it.

Quoted to show that Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, used to argue that Christ shares the exalted divine prerogatives reserved for Yahweh.

Quoted rhetorically ('Who is like Yahweh our God, who sits on high?') and then paired with Hebrews to argue that if Jesus also sits on high, he cannot be a mere creature.

Quoted to show Jesus asking the Father to restore the glory he had with the Father before the world existed, supporting Christ's preexistence and divine status.

Raised by the caller as an objection ('the Father is greater than I') against the Trinity; the response was that this refers to role or authority, not inferior nature.

Quoted to argue that the homage due to Yahweh in Isaiah is given to Jesus, supporting the case that Jesus shares Yahweh's divine identity.

Quoted to show Yahweh saying every knee will bow and every tongue swear allegiance to him, setting up the comparison with Philippians where this is applied to Jesus.

Quoted to emphasize the singular 'throne of God and of the Lamb,' arguing that the Father and the Son share one throne rather than occupying separate divine statuses.
