Sent

And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”

So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

Then the Pharisees who had been sent

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”

…so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

…nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

…but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

…then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?

So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”

I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.

And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One who sent Me.”

Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me.

But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

…that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”

Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.

He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”

He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
