“… ‘Whoever has My Commandments and observes them is the one who loves Me. Whoever loves Me will be Loved by My Father, and I will Love him and Reveal Myself to him.’ … ‘ Whoever loves Me will keep My Word, and My Father will Love him, and We will Come to him and Make Our Dwelling with him. …'”
“I AM the true vine, and my Father is the Vine Grower. He takes away every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does He Prunes so that it Bears more Fruit. You are already pruned because of the Word that I spoke to you. … I AM the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will Bear much Fruit, because without me you can do nothing. … By this is my Father glorified, that you Bear much Fruit and become My Disciples.”
“… ‘… The Father who dwells in Me is doing His Works. … I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me …. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. … whatever you ask in My Name, I will do, so that the Father may be Glorified in the Son. …”
Jesus said to His Disciples: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in Me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? …’ … ‘I AM the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'”
“‘… Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the one who sent Me.'”
“‘… The Works I do in My Father’s Name testify to Me. But you do not believe, because you are not among My sheep. My sheep hear My Voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them Eternal Life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of My Hand. …'”
“Jesus said: ‘Amen, amen, I say to you … whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. … the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them … * * * ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, I AM the Gate for the sheep. … Whoever enters through Me will be saved … I came so that they might have Life and have it more abundantly.'”
“Jesus said: ‘I AM the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. … I AM the Good Shepherd,
and I know Mine and Mine know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I will lay down My Life for the sheep ….”
“… He stood in their midst and said … ‘Peace be with you.’ … He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. … He said to them, ‘Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and Rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. …”
“On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the Disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ … He showed them His Hands and His Side. … ‘… As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ … He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.’ Thomas … was not with them … Jesus said ‘Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.’ …”
