10 God Speaks through Christ

[The Jews: How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?]
My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak from myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.                                                                                                                               j0715-8

[To the Pharisees:] I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
[They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.]
When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.                                                                                                                                                                          j0826-8

I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: ....                                                                                                                    j0838

For I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.                                                                                                                                                                                            j1249-50

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.                                                                                                                                                           j1410

No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you.                                                                                                                                   j1515

Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee: for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.         j1707-8


11 Obedience of Christ to God
And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.                                  j0829

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.  j1510

..... as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.                                                                                                                  j1431

O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.           m2639/l2242/k1435-46

O my Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.                                                                                        m2642

[To Peter:] Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?                                       j1811
