Can

So Jesus answered them: "I most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, except as He sees the Father doing it, for whatever the Father is in the habit of doing the Son also persists in doing.

So Jesus said to them, "When you lift the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know that I am the Christ, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I say exactly what my Father has instructed me to say.

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me? I am not saying these things on my own authority, but the Father who always remains in union with me is doing these things Himself.

I judge

You are judging in accordance with external standards, but I judge nobody.

Now we know that God's judgment justly falls on those who practice such sins as these.

Because

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work.

because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me.

However, I am not seeking honor for myself; there is One who is seeking it for me, and He is judge.

I have glorified you down here upon the earth by completing the work which you have given me to do.

Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into the sheath. Must I not drink the cup which the Father has handed me?"

Then He walked on a few steps and threw Himself upon His face, and in this attitude continued to pray, and say, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass by me; and yet, I pray, not what I want but what you want."

Christ certainly did not please Himself; instead, as the Scripture says, "The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen upon me."

General references

This is because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who has sent me has given me orders Himself what to say and what to tell.
