John 5:16-23 - Honoring The Father And The Son
16 This was why the Jews used to persecute Jesus, because he did things like this on the Sabbath. 17 But he answered them, "My Father is still at work, and I work too." 18 On account of this the Jews were all the more eager to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but actually called God his Father, thus putting himself on an equality with God.
19 So Jesus answered them, "I tell you, the Son cannot do anything of his own accord, unless he sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and lets him see everything that he himself is doing, and he will let him see greater deeds than these, to make you wonder. 21 For just as the Father awakens the dead and makes them come to life, the Son makes anyone whom he chooses come to life. 22 For the Father passes judgment on no one, but he has committed the judgment entirely to the Son, 23 so that all men may honor the Son just as much as they honor the Father. Whoever refuses to honor the Son refuses to honor the Father who sent him.
