John 5:17-29 But he answered them, "My Father is still at work, and I work too."

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ²⁴ I tell you, whoever listens to my message and believes him who has sent me, possesses eternal life, and will not come to judgment, but has already passed out of death into life. ²⁵ I tell you, the time is coming—it is here already!—when those who are dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen to it will live. ²⁶ For just as the Father is self-existent, he has given self-existence to the Son, ²⁷ and he has given him the authority to act as judge, because he is a son of man. ²⁸ Do not be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will listen to his voice, ²⁹ and those who have done right will come out to resurrection and life, and those who have done wrong, to resurrection and judgment.
