I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;
