"My Father is working still, and I am working"

John 5:17-30

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working." This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God. Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. "Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

Naglibog an Jewish authorities kan Jesus kon uno man gajud an pagkatawo Nija kay dili man nila ma-akseptar na isa Sija ka Messiah, na tag-annoint nan Father, tagpadaya sa lupa para tub’son an Ija mga tawo.

Taghimu-himu’an rakan nila si Jesus nan mga saya para may rason sila na dak’pon kay gusto man nila Sija pat’jon.

Waya sila makasabot na tagpadaya ni God si Jesus para tubagon an dugay na nila na pangaliya na maka-panumbalik sila kan God gikan sa ila pagka-makasasaya.

Tagpadaya ni Father an Ija Anak para mahipakita an gugma ni God sanan an Ija kalooy sanan hustisya sa tawo.

Indeklarar ni Jesus na an Ija relasyon kan Father naka-base sa isa ka kompleto na pagsalig sanan pagka-matinumanon ugsa na an tanan na gusto ipahimo nan Father Dija, ija gajud himoon.

Kita ‘sab tanan, tag-imbitar ni God na isumitir nato an ato mga kinabuhi Dija na may parehas na gugma, pagsalig sanan pagka-masinun’danon parehas nan tag-pakita ni Jesus kan Father.
