Question

According to Saint John 5:19, could Jesus do anything of Himself?

Answer

Watch Jesus here when they questioned Him about all these things, and the man packing his bed and so forth, that’d been healed. He said, now listen, Saint John 5:19: “Verily, verily…” That’s absolutely, absolutely. “…I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise. For the Father showeth the Son all things that Himself doeth. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto.” Is that right? Saint John 5:19 and 20. Now, Jesus is truthful. In other words He said, “He could do nothing at all until the Father showed Him by a vision first, what to do.” All that believes that Scripture, raise up your hand, Saint John 5:19. That’s exactly right. Then Jesus did not do one thing until the Father showed Him first in a vision what to do.
