"I candonothingon My own initiative.As I hear,I judge;and My judgmentis just,becauseI do not seekMy ownwill,but the willof Him who sentMe.
"For I have come downfrom heaven,not to doMy ownwill,but the willof Him who sentMe.
ThereforeJesusansweredand was sayingto them, "Truly,truly,I sayto you, the Soncandonothingof Himself,unless[it is] somethingHe seesthe Fatherdoing;for whateverthe Fatherdoes,these thingsthe Sonalsodoesin like manner.
Jesussaidto them, "My foodis to dothe willof Him who sentMe and to accomplishHis work.
"Do you not believethat I am in the Father,and the Fatheris in Me? The wordsthat I sayto you I do not speakon My own initiative,but the Fatherabidingin Me doesHis works.
And He wenta littlebeyond[them], and fellon His faceand prayed,saying,"My Father,ifit is possible,let thiscuppassfrom Me; yetnot as I will,but as You will."
SoJesussaid,"Whenyou liftup the Sonof Man,thenyou will knowthat I am[He], and I donothingon My own initiative,but I speakthese thingsas the FathertaughtMe.
For evenChristdid not pleaseHimself;but as it is written,"THE REPROACHESOF THOSEWHO REPROACHEDYOU FELLON ME."
"But I do not seekMy glory;there is One who seeksand judges.
Jesussaidto them, "IfGodwere your Father,you would loveMe, for I proceeded forthand have comefrom God,for I have not evencomeon My own initiative,but He sentMe.
"I glorifiedYou on the earth,having accomplishedthe workwhichYou have givenMe to do.
Beforethe LORD,for He is coming,For He is comingto judgethe earth.He will judgethe worldin righteousnessAnd the peoplesin His faithfulness.
SoJesussaidto Peter,"Putthe swordinto the sheath;the cupwhichthe Fatherhas givenMe, shall I not drinkit?"
"Farbe it from You to dosucha thing,to slaythe righteouswith the wicked,so that the righteousand the wickedare [treated] alike. Farbe it from You! Shall not the Judgeof allthe earthdealjustly?"
But becauseof your stubbornnessand unrepentantheartyou are storingup wrathfor yourselfin the dayof wrathand revelationof the righteous judgmentof God,
And we knowthat the judgmentof Godrightlyfallsupon thosewho practicesuch things.
A spiritof justicefor him who sitsin judgment,A strengthto those who repelthe onslaughtat the gate.
The LORDhas takenaway[His] judgmentsagainst you, He has clearedawayyour enemies.The Kingof Israel,the LORD,is in your midst;You will feardisasternomore.
