The NAME Above All Names

Scriptures about the name of Jesus

Philippians 2:9-11

(9)  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the NAME which is above every NAME,

(10)  that at the NAME of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

(11)  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Acts 3:1-10

(1)  Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

(2)  And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb [> 40] was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

(3)  who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

(4)  And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”

(5)  So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

(6)  Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the NAME of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

(7)  And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

(8)  So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.

(9)  And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

(10)  Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

(3)  For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

(4)  and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

Acts 4:1-12

(1)  Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

(2)  being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

(3)  And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

(4)  However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

(5)  And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes,

(6)  as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

(7)  And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what NAME have you done this?”

(8)  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

(9)  If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

(10)  let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the NAME of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

(11)  This is the ‘STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED BY YOU BUILDERS, WHICH HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE.’

(12)  Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other NAME under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The NAME. The highest of all NAMEs; NAME above every NAME.

Ephesians 1:17-23

(17)  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

(18)  the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

(19)  and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

(20)  which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

(21)  far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every NAME that is NAMED, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

(22)  And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

(23)  which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

This exalted one, exalted above all, is the one we come to talk and sing about. We are told also that all who call upon His NAME shall be saved, i.e. delivered from sin and darkness into the kingdom of Jesus. He is alive and you can talk to Him.

John 1:9-12

(9)  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

(10)  He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

(11)  He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

(12)  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His NAME:
