5:19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for whatever things he does, these also does the Son likewise.
John 5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
5:21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and makes them alive; even so the Son makes alive whom he will.
5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:
5:23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
5:26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me.

6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?
6:44 No one is able to come to me, except the Father who sent me draws him: and I will raise him up on the last day.
6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me.
6:46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is of God, he has seen the Father.
6:49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and died.
6:57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he who eats me, even he shall live by me.

6:65 And he said, Therefore said I to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him of my Father.

8:18 I am one who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.
8:19 Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.

8:28 Then Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
8:29 And he who sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.
8:39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
8:41 You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
8:42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out and came out of God; nor did I come of myself, but he sent me.
8:44 You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
8:49 Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
8:53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father who honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
10:15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
10:17 Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
10:18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I have received of my Father.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you did not believe: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
10:29 My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works I have showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
10:36 Do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me.
10:38 But if I do, though you do not believe me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
12:27 Now my soul is troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.
12:28 Father, glorify your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.
John 13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
13:2 And supper having started, the Devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and went to God;
14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.
