John 8:14

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

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 however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God,

I came from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

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.

Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered, “So you say.”

The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

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.

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.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

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.

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.

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’

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.

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
