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.

If I am not doing the things my Father does, do not believe me.

I do not call you slaves any longer, for a slave does not know what his master is doing, but now I call you friends, for I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.

Then they said to him, "Then what sign do you show for us to see and so come to believe you? What work are you doing?

You are doing as your father does." They said to him, "We are not illegitimate children. We have one father, God himself."

But if I am doing them, then even if you will not believe me, believe the things I do, in order that you may realize and learn that the Father is in union with me, and I am in union with the Father."

When he had washed their feet and put on his clothes and taken his place, he said to them again, "Do you understand what I have been doing to you?

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I am not the source of the words that I say to you, but the Father who is united with me is doing these things himself.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.
