God

Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'

Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

`For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

`Verily, verily, I say to you--He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

`Verily, verily, I say to you--There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

`I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

`But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

how are ye able--ye--to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses--in whom ye have hoped;

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal-- even God.'

They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'
