'Father' in the Bible

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things to be in his hand.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

The father therefore knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself and his whole house.

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

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

But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, even God.

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will not at all cast out.

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?

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

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father himself, and has learned of him, comes to me;

not that any one has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.

As the living Father has sent me and I live on account of the Father, he also who eats me shall live also on account of me.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no one can come to me unless it be given to him from the Father.

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

I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.

Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.

They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come from him; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.

Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.

Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

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

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

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment of my Father.

My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.

I and the Father are one.

Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewn you of my Father; for which work of them do ye stone me?

do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am Son of God?

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;

but if I do, even if ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;

If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. And if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.

Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify it again.

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;

and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.

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

Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.

If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.

Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.

Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works.

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.

Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,

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

He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.

He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who has sent me.

but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you.

Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for my Father is greater than I.

but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.

As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and that ye should bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.

He that hates me hates also my Father.

If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, he shall bear witness concerning me;

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

of righteousness, because I go away to my Father, and ye behold me no longer;

All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce it to you.

A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go away to the Father.

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?

And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out 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 hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

that they may be all 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.

Father, as to those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
