[18] Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because not only had broken the sabbath, but also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. [19] Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, I say The Son can do nothing of himself, what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, also doeth the Son likewise.
