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.
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. 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. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
