wmth@Matthew:1:2 @ Abraham was the father of Isaac; Isaac of Jacob; Jacob of Judah and his brothers.

wmth@Matthew:1:3 @ Judah was the father (by Tamar) of Perez and Zerah; Perez of Hezron; Hezron of Ram;

wmth@Matthew:1:6 @ Jesse of David–the King. David (by Uriah's widow) was the father of Solomon;

wmth@Matthew:1:12 @ After the Removal to Babylon Jeconiah had a son Shealtiel; Shealtiel was the father of Zerubbabel;

wmth@Matthew:2:22 @ But hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod on the throne of Judaea, he was afraid to go there; and being instructed by God in a dream he withdrew into Galilee,

wmth@Matthew:3:9 @ and do not imagine that you can say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

wmth@Matthew:4:21 @ He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.

wmth@Matthew:4:22 @ And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

wmth@Matthew:5:16 @ Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:5:45 @ that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good, and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong.

wmth@Matthew:5:48 @ You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.

wmth@Matthew:6:1 @ »But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:6:4 @ that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:6 @ But you, whenever you pray, go into your own room and shut the door: then pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:8 @ Do not, however, imitate them; for your Father knows what things you need before ever you ask Him.

wmth@Matthew:6:9 @ »In this manner therefore pray: `Our Father who art in Heaven, may Thy name be kept holy;«

wmth@Matthew:6:14 @ »For if you forgive others their offences, your Heavenly Father will forgive you also;«

wmth@Matthew:6:15 @ but if you do not forgive others their offences, neither will your Father forgive yours.

wmth@Matthew:6:18 @ that it may not be apparent to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father –He who sees in secret– will recompense you.

wmth@Matthew:6:26 @ Look at the birds which fly in the air: they do not sow or reap or store up in barns, but your Heavenly Father feeds them: are not you of much greater value than they?

wmth@Matthew:6:32 @ For all these are questions that Gentiles are always asking; but your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things–all of them.

wmth@Matthew:7:11 @ If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

wmth@Matthew:7:21 @ »Not every one who says to me, `Master, Master,' will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens, but only those who are obedient to my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:8:21 @ Another of the disciples said to Him, »Sir, allow me first to go and bury my father.«

wmth@Matthew:10:20 @ for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

wmth@Matthew:10:21 @ Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.

wmth@Matthew:10:29 @ Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

wmth@Matthew:10:32 @ »Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:10:33 @ But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:10:35 @ For I came to set a man against his father,

wmth@Matthew:10:37 @ Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

wmth@Matthew:11:25 @ About that time Jesus exclaimed, »I heartily praise Thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and of earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of discernment, and hast unveiled them to babes.

wmth@Matthew:11:26 @ Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

wmth@Matthew:11:27 @ »All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does any one fully know the Father except the Son and all to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.«

wmth@Matthew:12:50 @ To obey my Father who is in Heaven–that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother.«

wmth@Matthew:13:43 @ Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!

wmth@Matthew:15:5 @ but you –this is what you say: `If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me–

wmth@Matthew:15:6 @ he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.

wmth@Matthew:15:13 @ »Every plant,« He replied, »which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

wmth@Matthew:16:17 @ »Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah,« said Jesus; »for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:16:27 @ For the Son of Man is soon to come in the glory of the Father with His angels, and then will He requite every man according to his actions.

wmth@Matthew:18:10 @ »Beware of ever despising one of these little ones, for I tell you that in Heaven their angels have continual access to my Father who is in Heaven.«

wmth@Matthew:18:14 @ Just so it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

wmth@Matthew:18:19 @ I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask, the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven.

wmth@Matthew:18:35 @ »In the same way my Heavenly Father will deal with you, if you do not all of you forgive one another from your hearts.«

wmth@Matthew:19:29 @ And whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages.

wmth@Matthew:20:23 @ »You shall drink out of my cup,« He said, »but a seat at my right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.«

wmth@Matthew:21:31 @ Which of the two did as his father desired?« »The first,« they said. `I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, «that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of you.

wmth@Matthew:23:9 @ And call no one on earth your Father, for One alone is your Father–the Heavenly Father.

wmth@Matthew:23:30 @ and your boast is, »`If we had lived in the time of our forefathers, we should not have been implicated with them in the murder of the Prophets.'

wmth@Matthew:23:32 @ Fill up the measure of your forefathers' guilt.

wmth@Matthew:24:36 @ »But as to that day and the exact time no one knows–not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.«

wmth@Matthew:25:34 @ »Then the King will say to those at His right,« `Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.

wmth@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.«

wmth@Matthew:26:39 @ Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. »My Father,« He said, »if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest.«

wmth@Matthew:26:42 @ Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, »My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done.«

wmth@Matthew:26:53 @ Or do you suppose I cannot entreat my Father and He would instantly send to my help more than twelve legions of angels?

wmth@Matthew:28:19 @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations; baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

wmth@Mark:1:20 @ They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.

wmth@Mark:5:40 @ To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.

wmth@Mark:7:11 @ But say, `If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me–'

wmth@Mark:7:12 @ And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,

wmth@Mark:8:38 @ Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels.«

wmth@Mark:9:21 @ Then Jesus asked the father, »How long has he been like this?«»From early childhood,« he said;

wmth@Mark:9:24 @ Immediately the father cried out, »I do believe: strengthen my weak faith.«

wmth@Mark:10:29 @ »In solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

wmth@Mark:11:10 @ Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David!

wmth@Mark:11:25 @ But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences.«

wmth@Mark:13:12 @ »Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and and have them put to death.

wmth@Mark:13:32 @ »But as to that day or the exact time no one knows–not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

wmth@Mark:14:36 @ and He said, »Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest.«

wmth@Mark:15:21 @ One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.

wmth@Luke:1:17 @ and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord.«

wmth@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and He will be called `Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;

wmth@Luke:1:55 @ In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers–For Abraham and his posterity for ever.«

wmth@Luke:1:59 @ And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.

wmth@Luke:1:62 @ They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.

wmth@Luke:1:67 @ And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.

wmth@Luke:1:72 @ He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,

wmth@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,

wmth@Luke:2:34 @ And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,

wmth@Luke:2:49 @ When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, »My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish.«

wmth@Luke:2:50 @ »Why is it that you have been searching for me?« He replied; »did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?«

wmth@Luke:3:8 @ Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones.

wmth@Luke:6:23 @ »Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!«

wmth@Luke:6:26 @ »Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!«

wmth@Luke:6:36 @ Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.

wmth@Luke:8:51 @ So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.

wmth@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.

wmth@Luke:9:42 @ Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.

wmth@Luke:9:59 @ »Follow me,« He said to another. »Master,« the man replied, »allow me first to go and bury my father.«

wmth@Luke:10:21 @ On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. »I give Thee fervent thanks,« He exclaimed, »O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

wmth@Luke:10:22 @ All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son may choose to reveal Him.«

wmth@Luke:11:2 @ So He said to them, »When you pray, say, `Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;

wmth@Luke:11:11 @ And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?

wmth@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!«

wmth@Luke:11:47 @ Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.

wmth@Luke:11:48 @ It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.

wmth@Luke:12:30 @ For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.

wmth@Luke:12:32 @ »Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.«

wmth@Luke:12:53 @ father against son and son against father; mother attacking daughter and daughter her mother, mother-in-law her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law her mother-in-law.«

wmth@Luke:14:26 @ »If any one is coming to me who does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes and his own life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.«

wmth@Luke:15:12 @ The younger of them said to his father, »`Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' «So he divided his wealth between them.

wmth@Luke:15:17 @ »But on coming to himself he said,« `How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!

wmth@Luke:15:18 @ I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:

wmth@Luke:15:20 @ »So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.«

wmth@Luke:15:21 @ »`Father,' cried the son, `I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'«

wmth@Luke:15:22 @ »But the father said to his servants,« `Fetch a good coat quickly –the best one– and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.

wmth@Luke:15:27 @ »`Your brother has come,' he replied; `and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'«

wmth@Luke:15:28 @ »Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.«

wmth@Luke:15:31 @ »`You my dear son,' said the father, `are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.«

wmth@Luke:16:24 @ So he cried aloud, and said, »`Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

wmth@Luke:16:27 @ »`I entreat you then, father,' said he, `to send him to my father's house.«

wmth@Luke:16:30 @ »`No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; `but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'«

wmth@Luke:22:29 @ and I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom–

wmth@Luke:22:42 @ »Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!«

wmth@Luke:23:34 @ Jesus prayed, »Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.« And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;

wmth@Luke:23:46 @ and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, »Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit.« And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.

wmth@Luke:24:49 @ And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.«

wmth@John:1:13 @ who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.

wmth@John:1:14 @ And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory–the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.

wmth@John:1:18 @ No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom–He has made Him known.

wmth@John:2:16 @ And to the pigeon-dealers He said, »Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market.«

wmth@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.

wmth@John:4:12 @ Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?«

wmth@John:4:20 @ Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.«

wmth@John:4:21 @ »Believe me,« said Jesus, »the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

wmth@John:4:23 @ But a time is coming –nay, has already come– when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.

wmth@John:4:53 @ Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, »Your son has recovered,« and he and his whole household became believers.

wmth@John:5:17 @ His reply to their accusation was, »My Father works unceasingly, and so do I.«

wmth@John:5:18 @ On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death–because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.

wmth@John:5:19 @ »In most solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that the Son can do nothing of Himself–He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.

wmth@John:5:20 @ For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.

wmth@John:5:21 @ For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.

wmth@John:5:22 @ The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,

wmth@John:5:23 @ that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.

wmth@John:5:26 @ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.

wmth@John:5:36 @ »But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion –the very work which I am doing– affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.«

wmth@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me, has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

wmth@John:5:43 @ 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.

wmth@John:5:45 @ »Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.

wmth@John:6:27 @ Bestow your pains not on the food which perishes, but on the food that remains unto the Life of the Ages–that food which will be the Son of Man's gift to you; for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.«

wmth@John:6:31 @ Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written,

wmth@John:6:32 @ »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.

wmth@John:6:37 @ Every one whom the Father gives me will come to me, and him who comes to me I will never on any account drive away.

wmth@John:6:40 @ 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.«

wmth@John:6:42 @ They kept asking, »Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, `I have come down out of Heaven'?«

wmth@John:6:44 @ »no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; then I will raise him to life on the last day.«

wmth@John:6:45 @ It stands written in the Prophets, Every one who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to me.

wmth@John:6:46 @ No one has ever seen the Father–except Him who is from God. He has seen the Father.

wmth@John:6:49 @ Your forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, and they died.

wmth@John:6:57 @ As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.

wmth@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate–for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever.«

wmth@John:6:65 @ So He added, »That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father.«

wmth@John:7:22 @ Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.

wmth@John:8:16 @ And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

wmth@John:8:18 @ I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me.«

wmth@John:8:19 @ »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.«

wmth@John:8:27 @ They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father.

wmth@John:8:28 @ So Jesus added, »When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

wmth@John:8:38 @ The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father.«

wmth@John:8:39 @ »Our father is Abraham,« they said. »If you were Abraham's children,« replied Jesus, »it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.

wmth@John:8:41 @ You are doing the deeds of your father. »We,« they replied, »are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God.«

wmth@John:8:42 @ »If God were your Father,« said Jesus, »you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but sent me.

wmth@John:8:44 @ The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth–for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

wmth@John:8:49 @ »I am not possessed by a demon,« replied Jesus. »On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.

wmth@John:8:53 @ Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?«

wmth@John:8:54 @ »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.

wmth@John:8:56 @ Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad.«

wmth@John:10:15 @ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I am laying down my life for the sheep.

wmth@John:10:17 @ For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

wmth@John:10:18 @ 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.«

wmth@John:10:25 @ »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.

wmth@John:10:29 @ 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.

wmth@John:10:30 @ I and the Father are one.«

wmth@John:10:32 @ Jesus remonstrated with them. »Many good deeds,« He said, »have I shown you as coming from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?«

wmth@John:10:36 @ how is it that you say to one whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am God's Son'?

wmth@John:10:37 @ If the deeds I do are not my Father's deeds, do not believe me.

wmth@John:10:38 @ But if they are, then even if you do not believe me, at least believe the deeds, that you may know and see clearly that the Father is in me, and that I am in the Father.«

wmth@John:11:41 @ So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, »Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.

wmth@John:12:26 @ If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.

wmth@John:12:27 @ Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.

wmth@John:12:28 @ Father, glorify Thy name.« Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, »I have glorified it and will also glorify it again.«

wmth@John:12:49 @ Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.

wmth@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me.«

wmth@John:13:1 @ Now just before the Feast of the Passover this incident took place. Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father; and having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

wmth@John:13:3 @ although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,

wmth@John:14:2 @ 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.
