There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

he was not that Light, but was sent to testify of that light.

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, who he was.

said they to him, who then art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us: what sayst thou of thy self?

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction.

Jesus said to them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

I sent you to reap where you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you are entred into their labours.

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, he that heareth my doctrine, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Of my self I can do nothing: according to my instructions I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not consult my own will, but the will of the father who hath sent me.

you yourselves sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.

but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me.

and the father who sent me, hath himself born witness of me. his voice you have never heard, nor ever seen his appearance,

nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him.

Jesus answered them, the work which God requires is to believe on him whom he hath sent.

for I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

and the will of him who sent me is this, that I should not lose any one of those he has given me, but should raise them again at the last day: this,

I say, is the will of him that sent me, that every one who observes the son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

no man can come to me, except the father who hath sent me, conduct him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

as the father who is the source of life hath sent me, and I live by the father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Jesus answered them, the doctrine I deliver is not my own, but his that sent me.

he that speaks from himself, has a view to his own glory: but he that has a view to his glory that sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to all imposture.

Jesus then pursuing his discourse in the temple, rais'd his voice, and said, you know both who I am, and whence I am: however, I am not come of my self, but he that sent me is worthy of belief, him you are unacquainted with.

but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

(the Pharisees being inform'd what the people rumour'd concerning him, they and the chief priests sent their officers to seize him.)

then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me.

and yet if I did judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with the father who has sent me.

I indeed do bear testimony of my self, but the father, who has sent me, beareth witness of me likewise.

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

he that sent me, is with me: the father hath not left me alone, for I always do what is agreeable to him.

Jesus said to them, if God were your father, ye would love me: for I was commissioned by God to come; I did not come of my self, but he sent me.

I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.

and said to him, go wash in the pool of Siloam (a word which signifies sent.) so he went and washed, and came seeing.

but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents,

we know that God commission'd Moses: as for this fellow, we don't know who sent him.

the man replied, that's very strange that he should make me see, and you should not know who sent him.

how can you say that I blaspheme, I whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, because I said I am the son of God?

his two sisters therefore sent this message to Jesus; he, Lord, whom you love, is sick.

I know that thou hearest me always: but I say this, because of the people here present, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Then Jesus rais'd his voice, and said, he that believeth on me, does not so much believe on me, as on him that sent me.

and he that contemplates me, contemplates him that sent me.

for I have not spoken for my self; but the father who sent me, he commission'd me, what I should teach, and what I should speak.

I declare unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent, greater than he that sent him.

I declare unto you, he that receiveth him that I send, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me.

but when the advocate is come, whom I will send to you from the father, even the spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the father, he shall testify of me.

but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going?

nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father.

now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God.

and this is life eternal, to acknowledge thee to be the only true God, and Jesus to be the Messiah whom thou hast sent.

for I have given to them the instructions which you gave me; and they have received them; and have sincerely believ'd that I came from thee, and are persuaded that thou didst send me.

as thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

that they all may be one, as thou, father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may have a perfect union, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

O righteous father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

then said Jesus to them again, "peace be with you: as my father hath sent me, even so send I you."
