John 5:18-23

18His reply made the Jews more intent on killing him. Not only did he break the laws about the day of rest—a holy day, but also he made himself equal to God when he said repeatedly that God was his Father.

19Jesus said to the Jews, “I can guarantee this truth: The Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing. Indeed, the Son does exactly what the Father does.

20The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. The Father will show him even greater things to do than these things so that you will be amazed.

21In the same way that the Father brings back the dead and gives them life, the Son gives life to anyone he chooses.

22“The Father doesn’t judge anyone. He has entrusted judgment entirely to the Son

23so that everyone will honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
