'My Father' in the Bible

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven -- only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

"Whoever, then, acknowledges me before people, I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.

All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides to reveal him.

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

And Jesus answered him, "You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!

"See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Again, I tell you the truth, if two of you on earth agree about whatever you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

He told them, "You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

I tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

Going a little farther, he threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will."

He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done."

Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and that he would send me more than twelve legions of angels right now?

But he replied, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?"

Jesus said to another, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

All things have been given to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides to reveal him."

But when he came to his senses he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!

I will get up and go to my father and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

So the rich man said, 'Then I beg you, father -- send Lazarus to my father's house

Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father granted to me,

And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

To those who sold the doves he said, "Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father's house a marketplace!"

So he told them, "My Father is working until now, and I too am working."

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

For this is the will of my Father -- for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

Then they began asking him, "Who is your father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too."

Jesus answered, "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father -- and yet you dishonor me.

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, 'He is our God.'

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father."

Jesus replied, "I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father's name testify about me.

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them from my Father's hand.

If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.

If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him."

You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

"I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples.

If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.

The one who hates me hates my Father too.

If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.

Look, a time is coming -- and has come -- when you will be scattered, each one to his own home, and I will be left alone. Yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.

Jesus replied, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

While he was with them, he declared, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, which you heard about from me.

just as I have received the right to rule from my Father -- and I will give him the morning star.

The one who conquers will be dressed like them in white clothing, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, but will declare his name before my Father and before his angels.

I will grant the one who conquers permission to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
