Bible references: Dan. 7:18, 22, 25, 27. Other English versions call God the Most High (NIV, KJV) and the High God (MSG) in some of the verses.

When Greek speaking Jews translated the Old Testament, they often used the word hypsistos. Luke chose the same word in verses that speak of God as the “Most High” in English Bibles (Luke 1: 32, 35, 76). In some New Testament translations, Jesus (Yeshua‘) is called the Son of the Highest instead of Son of the Most High, but the same word hypsistos underlies it.
