'My Father' in the Bible

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

His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

For this is my Father's will, that every one who fixes his gaze on the Son of God and believes in Him should have the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him to life on the last day."

"Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

"I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

No one is taking it away from me, but I myself am laying it down. I am authorized to lay it down, and I am authorized to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my Father."

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

What my Father has given me is more precious than all besides; and no one is able to wrest anything from my Father's hand.

If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.

In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.

If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."

At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.

He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."

"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

"I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser.

If you obey my commands, you will continue in my love, as I have obeyed my Father's commands and continue in His love.

He who hates me hates my Father also.

If I had not done among them, as I have, such miracles as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin; but they have in fact seen and also hated both me and my Father.

"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
