“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
-
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
-
In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
-
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
-
“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.
-
Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
-
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
-
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
-
Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.
-
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
-
You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
-
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
-
As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
-
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,
-
but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
-
“We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
-
Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
-
But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
-
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
-
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
-
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.
-
If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

The Work of the Holy Spirit
“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.
-
I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
