And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you [will]."

Immediately the father of the child cried out [and] said, "I believe! Help my unbelief!"

the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us

And his father and mother were astonished at what was said about him.

And [when they] saw him, they were astounded and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you done this to us? Look, your father and I have been searching for you anxiously!"

And he said to them, "{Why} were you searching for me? Did you not know that it was necessary [for] me to be in the [house] of my Father?"

Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham [as] father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!

Now [when he] came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.

And he said to another, "Follow me!" But he said, "Lord, first allow me to go [and] bury my father."

At [that] same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these [things] from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.

All [things] have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father and who the Father is except the Son, and [anyone] to whom the Son wants to reveal [him]."

And [his] son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and {in your sight}! I am no longer worthy to be called your son!'

But [his] father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put [it] on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on [his] feet!

And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has gotten him back healthy.'

But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out [and] began to implore him.

But he answered [and] said to his father, 'Behold, so many years I have served you, and have never disobeyed your command! And you never gave me a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!

And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father--that one has made [him] known.

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

But an hour is coming--and now is [here]--when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such [people] [to be] his worshipers.

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

But he answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I am working."

So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, [thus] making himself equal with God.

So Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these [things] also the Son does likewise.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.

For just as the Father raises the dead and makes [them] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.

For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

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.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

"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.

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!

Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one."

Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!

Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

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.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God--this one has seen the Father.)

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.

And he said, "Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

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."

So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."

(They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."

They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus said to them, "If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!

You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"
