The Authority of the Son

¹⁹ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)the Son ^(B)can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father^[a] does, that the Son does likewise.

^48 (A)You therefore must be ^(B)perfect, ^(C)as your heavenly Father is perfect.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, ^(A)that you also should do just as I have done to you.

⁶ whoever says he ^(A)abides in him ^(B)ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and ^(A)knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, ^(B)“Father, if you are willing, remove ^(C)this cup from me. ^(D)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

¹⁷ For ^(A)it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
