If I have told you people about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

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.

Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.

“Now my soul is greatly distressed. And what should I say? ‘Father, deliver me from this hour’? No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour.
