Apologies for the earlier confusion. Let's continue analyzing the specified verses from the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on their Trinitarian insights and how they address Oneness theology.

### **17. Matthew 26:39**
**Text:**
"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays to the Father, expressing a distinct will yet submitting to the Father's will. This interaction underscores the personal distinction between the Father and the Son within the Trinity.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- Oneness theology posits that God is a single person manifesting in different modes. However, this passage presents two distinct wills in communication, challenging the idea of a singular person without internal distinctions.

### **18. Matthew 27:46**
**Text:**
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
**Trinitarian Insight:**
Jesus' cry on the cross addresses the Father as "My God," indicating a relational distinction between the Son and the Father, even in the context of shared divine nature.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- If the Father and the Son are the same person, as Oneness theology suggests, Jesus' cry of abandonment becomes inexplicable. The distinction in persons provides clarity to this expression of relational separation.
---
### **19. Matthew 28:19**
**Text:**
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
The Great Commission explicitly mentions the three distinct persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in whose singular name disciples are to be baptized, indicating unity and distinction within the Godhead.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- Oneness theology denies the distinct persons of the Trinity. However, this verse's explicit mention of all three challenges the notion of a singular person manifesting in different modes.
---
### **20. Matthew 11:27**
**Text:**
"All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
This verse highlights the exclusive and intimate knowledge between the Father and the Son, indicating distinct persons with a unique relational dynamic within the Trinity.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- The mutual knowledge and the act of revelation between the Father and the Son suggest personal distinctions that Oneness theology does not account for.
---
### **21. Matthew 17:5**
**Text:**
"While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
During the Transfiguration, the Father's voice from heaven affirms Jesus as His beloved Son, demonstrating the distinct persons of the Father and the Son within the Trinity.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- The simultaneous presence of the Father's voice and the Son's person challenges the Oneness perspective of a single person manifesting in different modes.
---
### **22. Matthew 12:32**
**Text:**
"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
Jesus distinguishes between Himself (the Son of Man) and the Holy Spirit, assigning different consequences for offenses against each, indicating distinct persons within the Trinity.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- The differentiation in consequences suggests personal distinctions that challenge the Oneness view of a singular person without differentiation.
---
### **23. Matthew 28:9**
**Text:**
"And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."
**Trinitarian Insight:**
The disciples' worship of the risen Jesus acknowledges His divinity, distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit, yet fully God, aligning with Trinitarian understanding.
**Debunking Oneness Theology:**
- The act of worship directed specifically to Jesus indicates His divine status as a distinct person, challenging the Oneness perspective of no personal distinctions within the Godhead.
