John 5:19-21

Contemporary English Version

The Son's Authority

¹⁹ Jesus told the people:

I tell you for certain the Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing, and he does exactly what he sees the Father do. ²⁰ The Father loves the Son and has shown him everything he does. The Father will show him even greater things, and you will be amazed. ²¹ Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants to.
