John 4:34

“I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my inner being.”

But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him.

And He said to them, “Why is it that you were searching for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

“I can do nothing from Myself. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

“But the witness I have is greater than the witness of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

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

“And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

“I glorified You on the earth, having finished the work which You have given Me to do.

But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”
