Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
Whoever hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!
So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
