The slave replied,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf<n id="2" /> because he got his son<n id="3" /> back safe and sound.&#8217;

But a time<n id="1" /> is coming &#8211; and now is here<n id="2" /> &#8211; when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks<n id="3" /> such people to be<n id="4" /> his worshipers.<n id="5" />

Then the father realized that it was the very time<n id="1" /> Jesus had said to him, &#8220;Your son will live,&#8221; and he himself believed along with his entire household.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.

Do not work for the food that disappears,<n id="1" /> but for the food that remains to eternal life &#8211; the food<n id="2" /> which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus told them, &#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

<p class="bodytext">Then they began asking<n id="1" /> him, &#8220;Who is your father?&#8221; Jesus answered, &#8220;You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he,<n id="2" /> and I do nothing on my own initiative,<n id="3" /> but I speak just what the Father taught me.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">They answered him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Abraham is our father!&#8221;<n id="2" /> Jesus replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;If you are<n id="4" /> Abraham&#8217;s children, you would be doing<n id="5" /> the deeds of Abraham.

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here.<n id="2" /> I<n id="3" /> have not come on my own initiative,<n id="4" /> but he<n id="5" /> sent me.

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless.<n id="2" /> The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people<n id="3" /> say, &#8216;He is our God.&#8217;

But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds,<n id="1" /> so that you may come to know<n id="2" /> and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.&#8221;

If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow<n id="1" /> me, and where I am, my servant will be too.<n id="2" /> If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.p>

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If anyone loves me, he will obey<n id="2" /> my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.<n id="3" />

But the Advocate,<n id="1" /> the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you<n id="2" /> everything,<n id="3" /> and will cause you to remember everything<n id="4" /> I said to you.p>

You heard me say to you,<n id="1" /> &#8216;I am going away and I am coming back to you.&#8217; If you loved me, you would be glad<n id="2" /> that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.<n id="3" />

Look, a time<n id="1" /> is coming &#8211; and has come &#8211; when you will be scattered, each one to his own home,<n id="2" /> and I will be left alone.<n id="3" /> Yet<n id="4" /> I am not alone, because my Father<n id="5" /> is with me.

that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray<n id="1" /> that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,<n id="1" /> so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world<n id="2" />.

But Jesus said to Peter, &#8220;Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?&#8221;<n id="1" />p>
