“Come near me and listen to this: ‘From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there.’ And now the Sovereign Lord has sent me, endowed with his Spirit.” (prophetic announcement of Jesus in Isaiah 48:16; NIV)
The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three separate persons and yet indistinguishable; they all three are God.
