God gave a measure of His authority to men and women in Old Testament times, but the full revelation of His power and authority came through Jesus Christ. Jesus knew He had this authority:
Ibinigay ng Diyos ang isang sukat ng Kaniyang kapamahalaan sa mga lalake at babae sa Lumang Tipan, ngunit ang lubos na kapahayagan ng Kaniyang kapangyarihan at kapamahalaan ay damating sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo.
