19 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing.

And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them[a] alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.
