John 5:16-23 - Honoring The Father And The Son

¹⁶ And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that he does, this also the Son does together with him. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son ²³ that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.
