4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me
and to complete
his work.
John 8:29
8:29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone,
because I always do those things that please him.”
John 12:49
12:49 For I have not spoken from my own authority,
but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me
what I should say and what I should speak.
John 14:31
14:31 but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know
that I love the Father.
Get up, let us go from here.”
John 17:4
17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing
the work you gave me to do.
Isaiah 42:1-4
The Lord Commissions His Special Servant
42:1 “Here is my servant whom I support,
my chosen one in whom I take pleasure.
I have placed my spirit on him;
he will make just decrees for the nations.
42:2 He will not cry out or shout;
he will not publicize himself in the streets.
42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,
a dim wick he will not extinguish;
he will faithfully make just decrees.
42:4 He will not grow dim or be crushed
before establishing justice on the earth;
the coastlands will wait in anticipation for his decrees.”
Matthew 3:15-17
3:15 So Jesus replied
to him, “Let it happen now,

to him.

Jesus was baptized, just as he was coming up out of the water, the
heavens

and coming on him.
3:17 And
a voice from heaven said,
“This is my one dear Son;
in him
I take great delight.”

Hebrews 10:5-10
10:5 So when he came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.
10:6 “Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight in.
10:7 “Then I said, ‘Here I am: I have come – it is written of me in the scroll of the book – to do your will, O God.’”
10:8 When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire nor did you take delight in them” (which are offered according to the law),
10:9 then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first to establish the second.
10:10 By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:1
Concluding Exposition: Old and New Sacrifices Contrasted
10:1 For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.
Hebrews 2:1-2
Warning Against Drifting Away
2:1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2:2 For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,
