There appeared a man named John, sent from God.

Now this is the testimony which John gave when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem, to ask him, "Who are you?"

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us, so that we can have an answer to give to those who sent us. What have you to say for yourself?"

I did not know Him myself, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, is the One who is to baptize in the Holy Spirit.'

The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is just the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

For God sent His Son into the world, not to pass sentence on it, but that the world through Him might be saved.

You can bear testimony to me yourselves that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent as His announcer.'

For He whom God has sent continues to speak the words of God, for God continues to give Him the Spirit without measure.

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work.

I have sent you to reap a harvest which you have not labored to make. Other men have labored, but you have reaped the results of their labors."

that all men may honor the Son as they do the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

"I most solemnly say to you, whoever listens to me and believes Him who has sent me possesses eternal life, and will never come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life.

I cannot do anything by myself. As I get orders, so I judge, and my judgment is a just one, for I am not trying to do my own will but the will of Him who has sent me.

You yourselves sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

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;

yes, the Father who has sent me has testified to me Himself. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form;

and you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the messenger whom He has sent.

Jesus answered them, "The work that God demands of you is this, to believe in the messenger whom He has sent."

because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me.

Now the will of Him who sent me is this, that I should lose none of all that He has given me, but should raise them to life on the last day.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; then I myself will raise him to life on the last day.

Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so whoever keeps on eating me will live because of me.

Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not my own, but it comes from Him who sent me.

Whoever utters merely his own ideas is seeking his own honor, but whoever seeks the honor of him who sent him is sincere, and there is no dishonesty in him.

So Jesus, as He was teaching in the temple, cried out, "Yes, you do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come on my own authority, but the One who has sent me exists as the Real One, whom you do not know.

I know Him myself, because I have come from Him, and He has sent me."

The Pharisees heard the people whispering this about Him, and so the high priests and Pharisees sent some officers to arrest Him.

Then Jesus said to them, "Just a little while longer I am to be with you, and then I am going back to Him who has sent me.

Even if I should judge, my decision is fair, because I am not alone, but there are two of us, I and the Father who has sent me.

I do testify to myself, and the Father who has sent me testifies to me."

I have much to say about you and much to condemn in you, but He who sent me is truthful, and I am telling the world only what I have learned from Him."

Yes, He who sent me is ever with me; I am not alone, because I always practice what pleases Him."

Then Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. No, indeed, I have not come on my own authority, but He has sent me.

We must continue to do the works of Him who sent me while it is daylight. Night is coming when no one can do any work.

and said, "Go and wash them in the pool of Siloam" (which means One who has been sent). So he went and washed them and went home seeing.

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'?

So the sisters sent this message to Jesus, "Lord, listen! the one you love so well is sick."

yes, I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the crowd that is standing by, that they may come to believe that you have sent me."

But Jesus cried aloud, "Whoever believes in me believes not merely in me but in Him who has sent me;

and whoever sees me sees Him who has sent me.

This is because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who has sent me has given me orders Himself what to say and what to tell.

I most solemnly say to you, whoever welcomes any messenger I send welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes Him who has sent me."

Whoever does not really love me does not observe my teaching; and yet the teaching which you are listening to is not mine but comes from the Father who has sent me.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send to represent me, will teach you everything Himself, and cause you to remember everything that I have told you.

They will do all this to you on account of me, because they do not know Him who has sent me.

"When the Helper comes whom I will send from the Father to you, the Spirit of truth that comes from the Father, He will testify to me.

But now I am going away to Him who has sent me, and not one of you is asking me where I am going,

Yet it is nothing but the truth I now tell you, that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go away, the Helper will not come into close fellowship with you, but if I do go away, I will send Him to be in close fellowship with you.

for I have given them the teachings that you gave me, and they have accepted them, and they have come to know in reality that I did come from you, and so they are convinced that you did send me.

Just as you have sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, too.

for them all to be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I in union with you, for them to be in union with us, so that the world may be convinced that you have sent me.

I in union with them and you in union with me, so that they may be perfectly united, and the world may be sure that you sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

Righteous Father, although the world did not know you, I did know you, and these men have come to know that you sent me,

So Annas sent Him over, still in handcuffs, to Caiaphas the high priest.

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