For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

And they were saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’ ?”

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

And He was saying, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

They did not realize that He was speaking to them about the Father.

So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am, and I do nothing on My own, but I say these things as the Father instructed Me.

I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born as a result of sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for I have not even come on My own, but He sent Me.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; on the contrary, I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died, are You? The prophets died too. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;

Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.”

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
