John 5:19-23 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do… resembles Luther's: "I cannot do otherwise"; or, to take a nearer example, Jesus puts His work under the guarantee of the Father's, as the impotent man had just put his under the shelter of Jesus. (F. Godet, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. |
