John 5:20 - Forerunner Commentary

John 5:20

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.

22 For the Father judges no one, but ^ahas committed all judgment to the Son,

23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^aHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
