John 5:17-23
5:17 So he
told
them, “My Father is working until now, and I too am working.”
5:18 For this reason the Jewish leaders
were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.
5:19 So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.
5:20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.
5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
5:22 Furthermore, the Father does not judge anyone, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
5:23 so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
John 5:30
5:30 I can do nothing on my own initiative.
Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,
because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
