“Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
Then Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does : and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.’ ” John 5:18-20
When the Jews had confronted Jesus about healing on the Sabbath, He had answered by telling them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” Their reaction to this statement was instantly hostile.
“Then Jesus answered and spoke to them” – these words by themselves are a wonder. He, Who could have dismissed them righteously, spoke to them graciously, giving them more information about Himself, opening the door to their possible belief in Him.
Jesus tells them of His perfect obedience to the Father, accomplishing that perfect obedience that is impossible for us to attain. The love between Father and Son highlights their unbreakable bond. The Son was doing all at the will of the Father that the Father may be shown to the people and that they may marvel.
