Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.

Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

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

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’

Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

“Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
