God

As it is, you are out to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Avraham did nothing like that!

You are doing the things your father does.” “We’re not illegitimate children!” they said to him. “We have only one Father — God!”

Yeshua replied to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me; because I came out from God; and now I have arrived here. I did not come on my own; he sent me.

Whoever belongs to God listens to what God says; the reason you don’t listen is that you don’t belong to God.”

Yeshua replied, “Me? I have no demon. I am honoring my Father. But you dishonor me.

Yeshua answered, “If I praise myself, my praise counts for nothing. The One who is praising me is my Father, the very one about whom you keep saying, ‘He is our God.’

Yeshua answered, “His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God’s power might be seen at work in him.

As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming, when no one can work.

At this, some of the P’rushim said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep Shabbat.” But others said, “How could a man who is a sinner do miracles like these?” And there was a split among them.

So a second time they called the man who had been blind; and they said to him, “Swear to God that you will tell the truth! We know that this man is a sinner.”

We know that God has spoken to Moshe, but as for this fellow — we don’t know where he’s from!”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners; but if anyone fears God and does his will, God does listen to him.

If this man were not from God, he couldn’t do a thing!”

Yeshua heard that they had thrown the man out. He found him and said, “Do you trust in the Son of Man?”

just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father — and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep.

“This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again!

No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This is what my Father commanded me to do.”

Yeshua answered them, “I have already told you, and you don’t trust me. The works I do in my Father’s name testify on my behalf,

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them from the Father’s hands.

I and the Father are one.”

Yeshua answered them, “You have seen me do many good deeds that reflect the Father’s power; for which one of these deeds are you stoning me?”

The Judeans replied, “We are not stoning you for any good deed, but for blasphemy — because you, who are only a man, are making yourself out to be God .”

If he called ‘elohim’ the people to whom the word of Elohim was addressed (and the Tanakh cannot be broken),

then are you telling the one whom the Father set apart as holy and sent into the world, ‘You are committing blasphemy,’ just because I said, ‘I am a son of Elohim’?

“If I am not doing deeds that reflect my Father’s power, don’t trust me.
