'My Father' in the Bible

"Not every one who says to me, 'Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.

Another of the disciples said to Him, "Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father."

"Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.

But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.

"All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

To obey my Father who is in Heaven--that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother."

"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.

"Beware of ever despising one of these little ones, for I tell you that in Heaven their angels have continual access to my Father who is in Heaven.

I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask, the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven.

"You shall drink out of my cup," He said, "but a seat at my right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

"Then the King will say to those at His right, "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.

I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."

Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest."

Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done."

Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?

and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."

"Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?"

All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son may choose to reveal Him."

"But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!

I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:

"'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house.

and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom--

And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."

His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

"Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

"I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.

If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.

In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.

If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."

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

He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."

"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.

If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.

He who hates me hates my Father also.

If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.

"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;

"'In this way he who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments; and I will certainly not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will acknowledge him in the presence of My Father and His angels.

"'To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of sitting down with Me on My throne, as I also have overcome and have sat down with My Father on His throne.
