'Sent' in the Bible

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

This was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and descendants of Levi to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

"Who are you?" they asked him. "We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

Now those men had been sent from the Pharisees.

"But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the actions that the Father has given me to complete the very actions that I am doing testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.

Moreover, the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen what he looks like,

nor do you have his word at work in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

Jesus answered them, "This is God's work: to believe in the one whom he has sent."

I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it to life on the last day.

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

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is genuine, and there's nothing false in him.

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

I'm testifying about myself, and the Father who sent me is testifying about me."

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you would've loved me, because I came from God and am here. I haven't come on my own accord, but he sent me.

So the sisters sent word to Jesus and told him, "Lord, the one whom you love is ill."

Then Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."

Then Jesus said loudly, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me only, but also in the one who sent me.

The one who sees me sees the one who sent me.

because I haven't spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, a servant isn't greater than his master, and a messenger isn't greater than the one who sent him.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who receives whomever I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me."

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