'Father' in the Bible

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

"Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"

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

It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."

Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

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

They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father."

They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."

Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

I and the Father are one."

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"

do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.

But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

"Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.

Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.

Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever, --

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

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

You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

He who hates me, hates my Father also.

If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

"When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more;

All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"

"In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

In that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you,

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
