'My Father' in the Bible

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only those who practice doing the will of my Father in heaven.

Another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go back and bury my father."

Therefore, everyone who will own me before men I will own before my Father in heaven,

but anyone who disowns me before men I will disown before my Father in heaven.

All things have been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one but the Father perfectly knows the Son, and no one but the Son perfectly knows the Father, and the one to whom the Son chooses to make Him known.

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

Then Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for it is not man that made this known to you, but my Father in heaven.

"Be careful not to look with scorn on a single one of these little children, for I tell you that in heaven their angels have uninterrupted access to my Father in heaven.

Just so it is not the will of my Father in heaven that a single one of these little ones be lost.

"Again, I tell you, if only two of you on earth agree on what they pray for, they will get it from my Father in heaven.

He said to them, "You will drink the cup that I am to drink, but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."

Then the King will say to those at His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.

I tell you, I will never again drink the product of the vine till the day when I drink the new wine with you in my Father's kingdom."

Then He walked on a few steps and threw Himself upon His face, and in this attitude continued to pray, and say, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass by me; and yet, I pray, not what I want but what you want."

A second time He went away and prayed, "My Father, if it cannot pass by without my drinking it, your will be done."

Do you suppose that I am unable to appeal to my Father and have Him furnish me on the spot one hundred thousand angels?

Then He said to them, "Why is it that you were searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"

He said to another man, "Follow me." But he said, "Let me first go back and bury my father."

All things have been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to make Him known."

Then he came to himself and said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more to eat than they need, and here I am dying of hunger!

I will get up and go to my father, and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your opinion;

Then he said, 'For this reason, I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house

and as my Father has conferred on me a kingdom,

And I will send down upon you what my Father has promised. But you, on your part, must stay right here in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

Then He said to the pigeon-dealers, "Take these things out of here! Stop using my Father's house as a market place!"

Then He answered them, "My Father is still working, and so am I."

But I have testimony that is higher than John's, for the works which my Father has committed to me to finish, the very works that I am doing, testify to me that the Father has sent me;

I have come in my Father's name, but you refuse to accept me. If anyone else should come in his own name, you would accept him.

Then Jesus said to them, "I most solemnly say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the real bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the real bread out of heaven,

All that my Father gives to me will come to me, and I will never, no, never reject anyone who comes to me,

For it is my Father's will that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him to life on the last day."

So He continued, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless it is granted to him by my Father."

Then they began to say to Him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father too."

So Jesus said to them, "When you lift the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know that I am the Christ, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I say exactly what my Father has instructed me to say.

I am telling you what I have seen in my Father's presence, and you are practicing what you have learned from your father."

Jesus answered: "I am not under the power of a demon; on the other hand, I am honoring my Father, but you are dishonoring me.

No one has taken it from me, but I am giving it as a free gift. I have the right to give it and I have the right to take it back. I have gotten this order from my Father."

Jesus answered them, "I have already told you so, but you do not believe me. The works which I am doing on my Father's authority are my credentials,

My father who gave them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"

do you now say to me whom my Father has set apart to it and sent into the world, 'You are a blasphemer,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

If I am not doing the things that my Father is doing, do not believe me.

If anyone serves me, he must continue to follow me, and my servant also must go wherever I go. If anyone serves me, my Father will show him honor.

In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you.

If you knew me, you would know my Father too. From now on you do know Him and you have seen Him."

At that time you will know that I am in union with my Father and you are in union with me and I am in union with you.

Whoever continues to hold and keep my commands is the one who really loves me, and whoever really loves me will be loved by my Father; yes, I will love him myself and will make myself real to him."

Jesus answered him, "If anyone really loves me, he will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him, and both of us will come in face-to-face fellowship with him; yes, we will make our special dwelling place with him.

You have heard me say that I am going away and coming back to you; if you really loved me, you would rejoice over my telling you that I am going to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

"I am the real vine, and my Father is the cultivator.

By your continuously bearing abundant fruit and in this way proving yourselves to be real disciples of mine, my Father is glorified.

If you continue to keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in His love.

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing; I now call you friends, because I have told you everything that I have learned from my Father.

Whoever continues to hate me continues to hate my Father too.

If I had not done things among them that no one else has ever done, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have seen and even hated both my Father and me.

Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to me so, for I have not yet gone up to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Jesus again said to them, "Peace be with you! Just as my Father has sent me forth, so I am now sending you."

he will govern them with a scepter of iron and shatter them like earthen jars -- just such authority as I have received from my Father --

Whoever conquers will be clothed this way -- in white clothes -- and I will never blot his name out of the book of life, but I will own him as mine in the presence of my Father and His angels.

I will give to him who conquers the privilege of taking his seat with me on my throne, just as I have conquered and taken my seat with my Father on His throne.
