ὅτι καταβέβηκα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐχ ἵνα ποιῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 8:29

καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον ὁ πατὴρ ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Malachi 3:1

הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ מַלְאָכִי וּפִנָּה-דֶרֶךְ לְפָנָי וּפִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל-הֵיכָלוֹ הָאָדוֹן׀ אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶּם מְבַקְשִׁים וּמַלְאַךְ הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶּם חֲפֵצִים הִנֵּה-בָא אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת׃

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Psalms 40:8

לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת-רְצוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתוֹרָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

John 4:34

λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιῶ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Luke 2:48

καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεπλάγησαν καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν Τέκνον τί ἐποίησας ἡμῖν οὕτως ἰδού ὁ πατήρ σου κἀγὼ ὀδυνώμενοι ἐζητοῦμέν σε

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

John 5:17

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς Ὁ πατήρ μου ἕως ἄρτι ἐργάζεται κἀγὼ ἐργάζομαι

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, I and work.

Matthew 21:12

Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐξέβαλεν πάντας τοὺς πωλοῦντας καὶ ἀγοράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ τὰς τραπέζας τῶν κολλυβιστῶν κατέστρεψεν καὶ τὰς καθέδρας τῶν πωλούντων τὰς περιστεράς

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

John 2:16

καὶ τοῖς τὰς περιστερὰς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν Ἄρατε ταῦτα ἐντεῦθεν μὴ ποιεῖτε τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου οἶκον ἐμπορίου

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

John 9:4

ἐμὲ δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστίν· ἔρχεται νὺξ ὅτε οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
