'Father' in the Bible

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.

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

You are not greater than our father Jacob, [are you], who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?"

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!"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

Jesus replied, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!

You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, [are you]? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself [to be]?"

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, [about] whom you say, 'He is our God.'

Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw [it] and was glad."

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

Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.

My Father, who has given [them] to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize [them] from the Father's hand.

The Father and I are one."

Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?"

do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

But if I am doing [them], even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father [is] in me and I [am] in the Father."

So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above and said, "Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me.

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, deliver me from this hour'? But for this [reason] I have come to this hour!

Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have both glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again."

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me {has commanded me} what I should say and what I should speak.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So [the things] that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say."

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

[because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and 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 it is enough for us."

Jesus said to him, "Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works.

Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater [works] than these because I am going to the Father.

And {whatever} you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you {forever}--

On that day you will know that I [am] in my Father, and you [are] in me, and I [am] in you.

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

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and {will take up residence with him}.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name--that one will teach you all [things], and will remind you of everything that I said to you.

You have heard that I said to 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 [am].

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

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

My Father is glorified by this: that you bear much fruit, and prove to be my disciples.

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

No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

The one who hates me hates my Father also.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father--that one will testify about me.

And they will do these [things] because they do not know the Father or me.

and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,

Everything that the Father has is mine. For this [reason] I said that he takes from what [is] mine and will proclaim [it] to you.

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he is saying to us, 'A little [while] and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

And on that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

"I have said these [things] to you in figurative sayings. An hour is coming when I will speak to you in figurative sayings no longer, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

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

I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

Behold, an hour is coming--and has come--that you will be scattered each one to his own [home], and you will leave me alone. And 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 hour has come! Glorify your Son, in order that your Son may glorify you--

And now, Father, you glorify me {at your side} with the glory that I had {at your side} before the world existed.

And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

that they all may be one, just as you, Father, [are] in me and I [am] in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

"Father, [those] whom you have given to me--I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into [its] sheath! The cup that the Father has given me--shall I not drink it?"
