|Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
|Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
|
|Therefore, because of this, the Jews plotted even more to murder Him, because not only did He break the Sabbath, but He also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal to God.
|
|The Jews would accept God as "our" Father (plural, corporately), but not as "MY" Father (an individual, singular claim), in somewhat the same way that we can say that all believers together are the body of Christ, but would not accept one person claiming to be Christ.

|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.
|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.
|
|Therefore Jesus responded to them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son is able to do nothing on His own, but only that which He sees the Father doing; For whatever the Father does, the Son does exactly the same thing."

|For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
|For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
|
|For the Father deeply loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does, and He will show Him even greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.
|
|Earlier, in 3:35, we saw that the Father has "agapao" for the Son, indicating how the Father SHOWS His love for the Son. The word for "love" here is phileo, indicating the deep feelings the Father has for the Son. The Father has BOTH phileo and agapao for the Son, indicating that the Father has deep feelings of love for the Son, and He SHOWS that love through how He treats the Son. This is a good lesson for all of us: we should have BOTH for our loved ones.
