'Father' in the Bible

And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

and to those selling the doves he said, 'Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.'

the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

'I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped;

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

'And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

'According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do.'

They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;'

Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his 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 died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'

Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

'Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'

Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

I and the Father are one.'

Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

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

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

They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;

Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.

Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'

Philip saith to him, 'Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'

Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

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

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving 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 may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

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

ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

'I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

'He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell 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 unto the Father.'

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith 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 unto the Father?'

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;
