Self and Ego, yeah

Several examples in the bible but here's one that comes directly to mind

John chapters 3:2
He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one could do these miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him.”
John 3:2 CEB

https://bible.com/bible/37/jhn.3.2.CEB

Jesus then proceeds to chastise Nicodemus for referring to himself as "we", which is a rhetorical use of the plural to denote "my ego and I" or "my title and I"
