And he said to them, "The harvest [is] plentiful, but the workers [are] few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.

The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me. But the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."

For this [reason] also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will kill and persecute,'

And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, [and] sent [him] away empty-handed.

And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded [and] threw out this one also.

So the owner of the vineyard said, 'What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.'

And [when he] found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.

And Herod with his soldiers also treated him with contempt, and [after] mocking [him] [and] dressing [him] [in] glistening clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.

But neither [did] Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death {has been done} by him.

A man came, sent from God, {whose name was} John.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, "Who are you?"

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

(And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Jesus said to them, "My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.

I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have worked, and you have entered into their work."

in order that all [people] will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my [own] will, but the will of the one who sent me.

You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.

"But I have a testimony greater than John's, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them--the very works which I am doing--[these] testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God: that you believe in [the one] whom that one sent."

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose [any] of them, but raise them up on the last day.

No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, [so] also the one who eats me--that one will live because of me.

So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but [is] from the one who sent me.

The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him--this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

I know him, because I am from him and he sent me."

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these [things] about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order {to take him into custody }.

Then Jesus said, "Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me.

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

I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me."

I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

So the sisters sent [word] to him, saying, "Lord, behold, [the one] whom you love is sick."

And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said [it], so that they may believe that you sent me."

But Jesus cried out and said, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,

and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me.

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me {has commanded me} what I should say and what I should speak.

Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me."

The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name--that one will teach you all [things], and will remind you of everything that I said to you.

But they will do all these [things] to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father--that one will testify about me.

But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, 'Where are you going?'

But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

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

that they all may be one, just as you, Father, [are] in me and I [am] in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.

So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you."

so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the Christ appointed for you--Jesus,

God, [after he] had raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each [of you] back from your wickedness!"

And [when they] heard [this], they entered at daybreak into the temple [courts] and began teaching. Now [when] the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin--even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel--and sent to the prison to have them brought.

So [when] Jacob heard [there] was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

And [when] the brothers found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

And [because] Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, [when they] heard that Peter was in {Lydda}, sent two men to him, urging, "Do not delay to come to us!"

But Peter sent [them] all outside, and, falling to [his] knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up!" And she opened her eyes, and [when she] saw Peter, she sat up.

And now, send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon, who is also called Peter.

and [after he] had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Now while Peter was greatly perplexed within himself [as to] what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having found the house of Simon by asking around, stood at the gate.

But get up, go down, and go with them--not hesitating at all, because I have sent them."

Therefore--and without raising any objection--I came [when I] was sent for. So I ask for what reason you sent for me."
