'My Father' in the Bible

Not every one who says to me 'Master! Master!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.

"Master," said another, who was a disciple, "let me first go and bury my father."

Every one, therefore, who shall acknowledge me before his fellow men, I, too, will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven;

But, if any one disowns me before his fellow men, I, too, will disown him before my Father who is in Heaven.

Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one fully know the Son, except the Father, or fully know the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.

For any one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

"Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," Jesus replied. "For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in Heaven.

Beware of despising one of these lowly ones, for in Heaven, I tell you, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in Heaven.

So, too, it is the will of my Father who is in Heaven that not one of these lowly ones should be lost.

Again, I tell you that, if but two of you on earth agree as to what they shall pray for, whatever it be, it will be granted them by my Father who is in Heaven.

"You shall indeed drink my cup," he said, "but as to a seat at my right and at my left--that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

Then the King will say to those on his right 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter upon possession of the Kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.

And I tell you that I shall never, after this, drink of this juice of the grape, until that day when I shall drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father."

Going on a little further, he threw himself on his face in prayer. "My Father," he said, "if it is possible, let me be spared this cup; only, not as I will, but as thou willest."

Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. "My Father," he said, "if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, thy will be done!"

Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?

"What made you search for me?" he answered. "Did not you know that I must be in my Father's House?"

To another man Jesus said: "Follow me." "Let me first go and bury my father," said the man.

Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him."

But, when he came to himself, he said 'How many of my father's hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!

I will get up and go to my father, and say to him "Father, I sinned against Heaven and against you;

'Then, Father,' he said, 'I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house--

And, just as my Father has assigned me a Kingdom, I assign you places,

And now I am myself about to send upon you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above."

And said to the pigeon-dealers: "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's House into a market-house."

But Jesus replied: "My Father works to this very hour, and I work also."

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

"In truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "Moses did not give you the Bread from Heaven, but my Father does give you the true Bread from Heaven;

For it is the will of my Father that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have Immortal Life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last Day."

"Where is your father, then?" they asked. "You know neither me nor my Father," replied Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have also known my Father."

I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father."

"I am not possessed by a demon," Jesus answered, "but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.

"If I do honor to myself," answered Jesus, "such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honor--and you say that he is your God;

No one took it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This is the command which I received from my Father."

"I have told you so," replied Jesus, "and you do not believe me. The work that I am doing in my Father's name bears testimony to me.

What my Father has entrusted to me is more than all else; and no one can snatch anything out of the Father's hands.

If I am not doing the work that my Father is doing, do not believe me;

If a man is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant shall be also. If a man is ready to serve me, my Father will honor him.

In my Father's Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.

If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him."

It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

"Whoever loves me," Jesus answered, " will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

I am the True Vine, and my Father is the Vine-grower.

It is by your bearing fruit plentifully, and so showing yourselves my disciples, that my Father is honored.

I no longer call you 'servants,' because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have given you the name of 'friends,' because I made known to you everything that I learned from my Father.

He who hates me hates my Father also.

If I had not done among them such work as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

"Do not hold me," Jesus said; "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my Brothers, and tell them that I am ascending to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God."

and 'he shall rule them with an iron rod, as when earthen vessels are broken in pieces' (as I myself have received from my Father)

He who conquers shall be clothed in these white robes, and I will not 'strike his name out of the Book of Life'; but I will own him before my Father, and before his angels.

To him who conquers--to him I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, as I, when I conquered, took my seat beside my Father on his throne.
