“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
Are You greater than our father Abraham who died? Even the prophets died. Who do You pretend to be?”
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
“I assure you: A slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.
“I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.
Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours.
“You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
