John 5:16-23
Young's Literal Translation
16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17 And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;'
18 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
20 for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.
21 `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22 for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,
23 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

John 5:16-23
New American Standard Bible
16 For this reason (A)the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on a Sabbath. 17 But He answered them, “My Father [a]is working until now, and I Myself am working.”
Jesus’ Equality with God
18 For this reason therefore (B)the Jews (C)were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, (D)making Himself equal with God.
19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (E)the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever [b]the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way. 20 (F)For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him (G)greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and (H)gives them life, so (I)the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. 22 For not even the Father judges anyone, but (J)He has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. (K)The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
