John 14:31

If you love me, keep my commandments.

Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”

saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.

I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I pray.”

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.

Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear. I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

When they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
