And afterwards he sent them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.



Jesus said to them, If God was your father you would have loved me; for I came forth and come from God; for I came not of myself, but he sent me.


because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.



And in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. Then the Jews wondered, saying, How does this man know letters, not having learned? Then Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not mine but his that sent me. read more.
If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you performs the law. Why do you seek to kill me? The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks to kill you? Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one work and you all wonder. Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man entirely sound on the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge a righteous judgment. Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length learned that this is the Christ? But we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ comes, no one knows whence he is. Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not; I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me. Then they sought to take him by force; but no man laid a hand on him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Christ comes will he perform more miracles than this man has performed? The Pharisees heard the multitude saying these things concerning him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent to take him by force. Then Jesus said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go to him that sent me. You shall seek and shall not find, and where I am you cannot come. Then the Jews said one to another, Where is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What does the word which he said mean; You shall seek and shall not find me, and where I am you cannot come? And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any one thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He that believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of him shall flow rivers of living water. But he said this of the Spirit which those believing in him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified. Then some of the multitude hearing these words, said, This is truly the prophet; others said, This is the Christ; others said, [No]; for does the Christ come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? Then there was a division among the multitude on his account; and some of them wished to take him by force, but no one laid hands on him. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have you not brought him? The officers answered, A man never spoke thus. The Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived? Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude which know not the law are accursed. Nicodemus, he that came to him, being one of them, said to them, Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he does? They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? search and see; for no prophet is raised up from Galilee. [An early interpolation, but probably true]. And every man went to his own house;


At that time Jesus answering said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for so it has seemed good in thy sight. All things are given me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; and no one knows the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

And turning to his disciples, he said, All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Then Jesus cried, teaching in the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know not; I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.

Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom do you make yourself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God; and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word. read more.
Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad. Then the Jews said to him, You have not yet fifty years, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.

I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I give my life for the sheep.

JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life. And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. read more.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them. I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world: and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth. And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word, that 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. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we are one, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; and, righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me.






and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word.






and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word.
