In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God (10) Greater than He

In the Bible, the Lord Jesus says in the verse John 14:28: "You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for (because) the Father is greater than I."

Study of the verse John 14:28 in 40 different Bible's versions in respect to "Greater than I" reveal that:
1) For (because) the Father is: Greater than I (in 20 versions), Greater than I am (in nine versions) and Greater than me (in one version)

2) In addition, seven versions say "for My Father is greater than I"; i.e. the father in the original Manuscript is replaced by "My father"

3) Moreover, two versions add (the underlined) words that are not found in the original Manuscript and are not mentioned in 38 versions; they say:

"For the Father is greater and mightier than I am" (Amplified Bible)
"My Father has greater power than I." (Knox Bible)
Anyway, 39 0ut of 40 versions say that "the Father is greater than Jesus"

4) This means that one version says something else; this something else is certainly not the Word of God. If so, it has to be Forged or faked by the editor of this version.

Let us see what Jesus says in this version (The Message):
"I'm on my way to the Father because the Father is the goal and purpose of my life."
Here, the editors of The Message forged "the Father is the goal and purpose of my life"
Well, 39 Bible's versions confirm that God Father is Greater than Jesus.
This is the great teaching of the Lord Jesus that He wants us to believe in it
This great teaching is "God is greater than Jesus".
Jesus (peace be upon him) confirms this fact in John 14:28; in addition, Jesus told us beautiful words as a background to understand his teaching; He says in John 13:16:
"I am telling you the truth: no slaves are greater than their master, and no messengers are greater than the one who sent them.'

I invite the smart reader to put the words of 14:28 and John 13:16 to figure out what our Lord Jesus mean.
For more details about John 13:16, read:

On the other hand, the Quran says that nothing is similar to Allah and none is greater than Allah; He is the greatest and He is the Lord of the heavens, the earth and the worlds.
