¹⁶ Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.^{(A) 17} Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out^(B) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

¹⁵ All that belongs to the Father is mine.^(A) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

⁷ If you really know me, you will know^[a] my Father as well.^(A) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

⁸ Philip^(B) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

⁹ Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.^(C) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?^(D) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.^(E) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

⁴⁹ For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me^(A) to say all that I have spoken. ⁵⁰ I know that his command leads to eternal life.^(B) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”^(C)

²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me,^(A) is greater than all^[a];^(B) no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”^(C)

²⁸ So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up^[a] the Son of Man,^(A) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.^(B)

²⁷ No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me^(A) and have believed that I came from God.^{(B) 28} I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”^(C)

²⁹ Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.^{(D) 30} Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe^(E) that you came from God.”^(F)
