New Testament

John 5:17-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.”

18. So the Jews sought even more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

19. Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do. For whatever He does, likewise the Son does.

20. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these so that you may marvel.

21. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

22. The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

23. that all men should honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
