John 5:17
Compare all
15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Honor the Father and the Son

16 For this reason the Jews apersecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.  
17 But Jesus answered them, a“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”  
18 Therefore the Jews asought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, bmaking Himself equal with God.  
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, athe Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.  
20 For athe Father loves the Son, and bshows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.  
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, aeven so the Son gives life to whom He will.
