John 16:3

²¹But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

²⁵Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

⁵⁵You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

¹⁹They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

⁸punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

¹⁰and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie, ¹²that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

³This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

¹See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

²³He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²²Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
