The noun patēr (father) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more litteral meaning)


Matthew

2: 22But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father (patēr) Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee.
3: 9Do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father (patēr) '; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
4: 21As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father (patēr) Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
4: 22Immediately they left the boat and their father (patēr) , and followed him.
5: 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father (patēr) in heaven.
5: 45so that you may be children of your Father (patēr) in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
5: 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father (patēr) is perfect.
6: 1"Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father (patēr) in heaven.
6: 4so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father (patēr) who sees in secret will reward you.
6: 6But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father (patēr) who is in secret; and your Father (patēr) who sees in secret will reward you.
6: 8Do not be like them, for your Father (patēr) knows what you need before you ask him.
6: 9"Pray then in this way: Our Father (patēr) in heaven, hallowed be your name.
6: 14For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father (patēr) will also forgive you;
6: 15but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father (patēr) forgive your trespasses.
6: 18so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father (patēr) who is in secret; and your Father (patēr) who sees in secret will reward you.
6: 26Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father (patēr) feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
6: 32For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father (patēr) knows that you need all these things.
7: 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father (patēr) in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
7: 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father (patēr) in heaven.

10: 35For I have come to set a man against his father (patēr) , and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
10: 37Whoever loves father (patēr) or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
11: 25At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father (patēr), Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants;
11: 26yes, Father (patēr) , for such was your gracious will.
11: 27All things have been handed over to me by my Father (patēr) ; and no one knows the Son except the Father (patēr) , and no one knows the Father (patēr) except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
12: 50For whoever does the will of my Father (patēr) in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."
13: 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father (patēr) . Let anyone with ears listen!
15: 4For God said, 'Honor your father (patēr) and your mother,' and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father (patēr) or mother must surely die.'
15: 5But you say that whoever tells father (patēr) or mother, 'Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,' then that person need not honor the father (patēr) .
15: 6So, for the sake of your tradition, you make void the word of God.
15: 13He answered, "Every plant that my heavenly Father (patēr) has not planted will be uprooted.

18: 10"Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father (patēr) in heaven.
18: 14So it is not the will of your Father (patēr) in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
18: 19Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father (patēr) in heaven.
18: 35So my heavenly Father (patēr) will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart."
19: 5and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father (patēr) and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
19: 19Honor your father (patēr) and mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
19: 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father (patēr) or mother or children or fields, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.
20: 23He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father (patēr) ."
21: 31Which of the two did the will of his father (patēr) ?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.
23: 9And call no one your father (patēr) on earth, for you have one Father (patēr) - the one in heaven.
23: 30and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers (patēr) , we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
23: 32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers (patēr) .
24: 36"But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (patēr) .
25: 34Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father (patēr) , inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
26: 29I tell you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father (patēr) 's kingdom."
26: 39And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, "My Father (patēr) , if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want."
26: 42Again he went away for the second time and prayed, "My Father (patēr) , if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done."
26: 53Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father (patēr) , and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

Mark

1: 20Immediately he called them; and they left their father (patēr) Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
5: 40And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child's father (patēr) and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
7: 10For Moses said, 'Honor your father (patēr) and your mother'; and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father (patēr) or mother must surely die.'
7: 11But you say that if anyone tells father (patēr) or mother, 'Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban' (that is, an offering to God) -
7: 12then you no longer permit doing anything for a father (patēr) or mother,
8: 38Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father (patēr) with the holy angels."
9: 21Jesus asked the father (patēr), "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
9: 24Immediately the father (patēr) of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief!"
10: 7'For this reason a man shall leave his father (patēr) and mother and be joined to his wife,
10: 19You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father (patēr) and mother.'"
10: 29Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father (patēr) or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,
11: 10Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father (patēr) David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
11: 25"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father (patēr) in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses."

Luke

1: 17With the spirit and power of Elijah he will go before him, to turn the hearts of fathers (patēr) to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
1: 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father (patēr) David.
1: 55according to the promise he made to our fathers (patēr), to Abraham and to his descendants forever."
1: 59On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father (patēr).
1: 62Then they began motioning to his father (patēr) to find out what name he wanted to give him.
1: 67Then his father (patēr) Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke this prophecy:
1: 72Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our fathers (patēr), and has remembered his holy covenant,
1: 73the oath that he swore to our father (patēr) Abraham, to grant us
2: 33And the child's father (patēr) and mother were amazed at what was being said about him.
2: 48When they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father (patēr) and I have been searching for you in great anxiety."
2: 49He said to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father (patēr)'s house?"
3: 8Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father (patēr)'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
6: 23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their fathers (patēr) did to the prophets.
6: 26"Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their fathers (patēr) did to the false prophets.
6: 36Be merciful, just as your Father (patēr) is merciful.
8: 51When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father (patēr) and mother.
9: 26Those who are ashamed of me and of my words, of them the Son of Man will be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father (patēr) and of the holy angels.
9: 42While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father (patēr).
9: 59To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father (patēr)."
10: 21At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father (patēr), Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father (patēr), for such was your gracious will.
10: 22All things have been handed over to me by my Father (patēr); and no one knows who the Son is except the Father (patēr), or who the Father (patēr) is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
11: 2He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father (patēr), hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
11: 11Is there a father (patēr) among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a fish?
11: 13If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father (patēr) give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
11: 47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers (patēr) killed.
11: 48So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your fathers (patēr); for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
12: 30For it is the nations of the world that strive after all these things, and your Father (patēr) knows that you need them.
12: 32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father (patēr)'s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
12: 53they will be divided: father (patēr) against son and son against father (patēr), mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
14: 26"Whoever comes to me and does not hate father (patēr) and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.
15: 12The younger of them said to his father (patēr), 'Father (patēr), give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them.
15: 17But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father (patēr)'s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger!
15: 18I will get up and go to my father (patēr), and I will say to him, "Father (patēr), I have sinned against heaven and before you;
15: 20So he set off and went to his father (patēr). But while he was still far off, his father (patēr) saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
15: 21Then the son said to him, 'Father (patēr), I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
15: 22But the father (patēr) said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe - the best one - and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
15: 27He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father (patēr) has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.'
15: 28Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father (patēr) came out and began to plead with him.
15: 29But he answered his father (patēr), 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.
16: 24He called out, 'Father (patēr) Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.'
16: 27He said, 'Then, father (patēr), I beg you to send him to my father (patēr)'s house -
16: 30He said, 'No, father (patēr) Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
18: 20You know the commandments: 'You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father (patēr) and mother.'"
22: 29and I confer on you, just as my Father (patēr) has conferred on me, a kingdom,
22: 42"Father (patēr), if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done."
23: 34[Then Jesus said, "Father (patēr), forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing."]] And they cast lots to divide his clothing.
23: 46Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father (patēr), into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last.
24: 49And see, I am sending upon you what my Father (patēr) promised; so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

John

1: 14And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father (patēr)'s only son, full of grace and truth.
1: 18No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father (patēr)'s heart, who has made him known.
2: 16He told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father (patēr)'s house a marketplace!"
3: 35The Father (patēr) loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands.
4: 12Are you greater than our father (patēr) Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?"
4: 20Our fathers (patēr) worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
4: 21Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father (patēr) neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
4: 23But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (patēr) in spirit and truth, for the Father (patēr) seeks such as these to worship him.
4: 53The father (patēr) realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he himself believed, along with his whole household.
5: 17But Jesus answered them, "My Father (patēr) is still working, and I also am working."
5: 18For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father (patēr), thereby making himself equal to God.
5: 19Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father (patēr) doing; for whatever the Latter does, the Son does likewise.
5: 20The Father (patēr) loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be astonished.
5: 21Indeed, just as the Father (patēr) raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
5: 22The Father (patēr) judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,
5: 23so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father (patēr). Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father (patēr) who sent him.
5: 26For just as the Father (patēr) has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself;
5: 36But I have a testimony greater than John's. The works that the Father (patēr) has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father (patēr) has sent me.
5: 37And the Father (patēr) who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form,
5: 43I have come in my Father (patēr)'s name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.
5: 45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father (patēr); your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
6: 27Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father (patēr) has set his seal."
6: 31Our fathers (patēr) ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
6: 32Then Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father (patēr) who gives you the true bread from heaven.
6: 37Everything that the Father (patēr) gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away;
6: 40This is indeed the will of my Father (patēr), that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day."
6: 42They were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father (patēr) and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"
6: 44No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father (patēr) who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day.
6: 45It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father (patēr) comes to me.
6: 46Not that anyone has seen the Father (patēr) except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father (patēr).
6: 49Your fathers (patēr) ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
6: 57Just as the living Father (patēr) sent me, and I live because of the Father (patēr), so whoever eats me will live because of me.
6: 58This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your fathers (patēr) ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever."
6: 65And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father (patēr)."
7: 22Moses gave you circumcision (it is, of course, not from Moses, but from the fathers (patēr)), and you circumcise a man on the sabbath.
8: 16Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father (patēr) who sent me.
8: 18I testify on my own behalf, and the Father (patēr) who sent me testifies on my behalf."
8: 19Then they said to him, "Where is your Father (patēr)?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father (patēr). If you knew me, you would know my Father (patēr) also."
8: 27They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father (patēr).
8: 28So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father (patēr) instructed me.
8: 38I declare what I have seen in the Father (patēr)'s presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father (patēr)."
8: 39They answered him, "Abraham is our father (patēr)." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did,
8: 41You are indeed doing what your father (patēr) does." They said to him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one father (patēr), God himself."
8: 42Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father (patēr), you would love me, for I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me.
8: 44You are from your father (patēr) the devil, and you choose to do your father (patēr)'s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father (patēr) of lies.
8: 49Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father (patēr), and you dishonor me.
8: 53Are you greater than our father (patēr) Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?"
8: 54Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father (patēr) who glorifies me, he of whom you say, 'He is our God,'
8: 56Your father (patēr) Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; he saw it and was glad."
10: 15just as the Father (patēr) knows me and I know the Father (patēr). And I lay down my life for the sheep.
10: 17For this reason the Father (patēr) loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
10: 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father (patēr)."
10: 25Jesus answered, "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father (patēr)'s name testify to me;
10: 29What my Father (patēr) has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father (patēr)'s hand.
10: 30The Father (patēr) and I are one."
10: 32Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works from the Father (patēr). For which of these are you going to stone me?"
10: 36can you say that the one whom the Father (patēr) has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
10: 37If I am not doing the works of my Father (patēr), then do not believe me.
10: 38But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father (patēr) is in me and I am in the Father (patēr)."
11: 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father (patēr), I thank you for having heard me.
12: 26Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father (patēr) will honor.
12: 27"Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say — 'Father (patēr), save me from this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.
12: 28Father (patēr), glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."
12: 49for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father (patēr) who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak.
12: 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father (patēr) has told me."
13: 1Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father (patēr). Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
13: 3Jesus, knowing that the Father (patēr) had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,
14: 2In my Father (patēr)'s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
14: 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father (patēr) except through me.
14: 7If you know me, you will know my Father (patēr) also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
14: 8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father (patēr), and we will be satisfied."
14: 9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father (patēr). How can you say, 'Show us the Father (patēr)'?
14: 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father (patēr) and the Father (patēr) is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father (patēr) who dwells in me does his works.
14: 11Believe me that I am in the Father (patēr) and the Father (patēr) is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves.
14: 12Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father (patēr).
14: 13I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father (patēr) may be glorified in the Son.
14: 16And I will ask the Father (patēr), and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever.
14: 20On that day you will know that I am in my Father (patēr), and you in me, and I in you.
14: 21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father (patēr), and I will love them and reveal myself to them."
14: 23Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father (patēr) will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
14: 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father (patēr) who sent me.
14: 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father (patēr) will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.
14: 28You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father (patēr), because the Father (patēr) is greater than I.
14: 31but I do as the Father (patēr) has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father (patēr). Rise, let us be on our way.
15: 1"I am the true vine, and my Father (patēr) is the vinegrower.
15: 8My Father (patēr) is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
15: 9As the Father (patēr) has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
15: 10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father (patēr)'s commandments and abide in his love.
15: 15I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father (patēr).
15: 16You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father (patēr) will give you whatever you ask him in my name.
15: 23Whoever hates me hates my Father (patēr) also.
15: 24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father (patēr).
15: 26"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father (patēr), the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father (patēr), he will testify on my behalf.
16: 3And they will do this because they have not known the Father (patēr) or me.
16: 10about righteousness, because I am going to the Father (patēr) and you will see me no longer;
16: 15All that the Father (patēr) has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
16: 17Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying to us, 'A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and 'Because I am going to the Father (patēr)'?"
16: 23On that day you will ask nothing of me. Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father (patēr) in my name, he will give it to you.
16: 25"I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will tell you plainly of the Father (patēr).
16: 26On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father (patēr) on your behalf;
16: 27for the Father (patēr) himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
16: 28I came from the Father (patēr) and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father (patēr)."
16: 32The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father (patēr) is with me.
17: 1After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father (patēr), the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,
17: 5So now, Father (patēr), glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
17: 11And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father (patēr), protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
17: 21that they may all be one. As you, Father (patēr), are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
17: 24Father (patēr), I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
17: 25"Righteous Father (patēr), the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me.
18: 11Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father (patēr) has given me?"
20: 17Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father (patēr). But go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father (patēr) and your Father (patēr), to my God and your God.'"
20: 21Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father (patēr) has sent me, so I send you."

Acts

1: 4While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father (patēr). "This," he said, "is what you have heard from me;
1: 7He replied, "It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father (patēr) has set by his own authority.
2: 33Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father (patēr) the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear.
3: 13The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers (patēr) has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him.
3: 25You are the descendants of the prophets and of the covenant that God gave to your fathers (patēr), saying to Abraham, 'And in your descendants all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'
4: 25it is you who said by the Holy Spirit through our father (patēr) David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things?

7: 2And Stephen replied: "Brothers and fathers (patēr), listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our father (patēr) Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
7: 4Then he left the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father (patēr) died, God had him move from there to this country in which you are now living.
7: 11Now there came a famine throughout Egypt and Canaan, and great suffering, and our fathers (patēr) could find no food.
7: 12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers (patēr) there on their first visit.
7: 14Then Joseph sent and invited his father (patēr) Jacob and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five in all;
7: 15so Jacob went down to Egypt. He himself died there as well as our fathers (patēr),
7: 19He dealt craftily with our race and forced our fathers (patēr) to abandon their infants so that they would die.
7: 20At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful before God. For three months he was brought up in his father (patēr)'s house;
7: 32'I am the God of your fathers (patēr), the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look.
7: 38He is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers (patēr); and he received living oracles to give to us.
7: 39Our fathers (patēr) were unwilling to obey him; instead, they pushed him aside, and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,
7: 44"Our fathers (patēr) had the tent of testimony in the wilderness, as God directed when he spoke to Moses, ordering him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.
7: 45Our fathers (patēr) in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our fathers (patēr). And it was there until the time of David,
7: 51"You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you are forever opposing the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers (patēr) used to do.
7: 52Which of the prophets did your fathers (patēr) not persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers.
13: 17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers (patēr) and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.
13: 32And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our fathers (patēr)
13: 36For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, died, was laid beside his fathers (patēr), and experienced corruption;
15: 10Now therefore why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers (patēr) nor we have been able to bear?
16: 1Paul went on also to Derbe and to Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father (patēr) was a Greek.
16: 3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father (patēr) was a Greek.
22: 1"Brothers and fathers (patēr), listen to the defense that I now make before you."
22: 14Then he said, 'The God of our fathers (patēr) has chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear his own voice;
26: 6And now I stand here on trial on account of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers (patēr),
28: 8It so happened that the father (patēr) of Publius lay sick in bed with fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and cured him by praying and putting his hands on him.
28: 25So they disagreed with each other; and as they were leaving, Paul made one further statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers (patēr) through the prophet Isaiah,

1 John

1: 2this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father (patēr) and was revealed to us -
1: 3we declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father (patēr) and with his Son Jesus Christ.
2: 1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father (patēr), Jesus Christ the righteous;
2: 13I am writing to you, fathers (patēr), because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, because you have conquered the evil one.
2: 14I write to you, children, because you know the Father (patēr). I write to you, fathers (patēr), because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
2: 15Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father (patēr) is not in those who love the world;
2: 16for all that is in the world - the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches - comes not from the Father (patēr) but from the world.
2: 22Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father (patēr) and the Son.
2: 23No one who denies the Son has the Father (patēr); everyone who confesses the Son has the Father (patēr) also.
2: 24Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father (patēr).
3: 1See what love the Father (patēr) has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
4: 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father (patēr) has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

2 John

1: 3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father (patēr) and from Jesus Christ, the Father (patēr)'s Son, in truth and love.
1: 4I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father (patēr).
1: 9Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God; whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father (patēr) and the Son.
