God

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”

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

Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

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

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

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

The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.

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.”

But Jesus responded, “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,” said the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God.”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.
