³⁴ Jesus said to them, ^(A)“My food is ^(B)to do the will of him who sent me and ^(C)to accomplish his work.

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.

³⁸ For ^(A)I have come down from heaven, not to do ^(B)my own will but ^(C)the will of him ^(D)who sent me. ³⁹ And ^(E)this is the will of him who sent me, ^(F)that I should lose nothing of ^(G)all that he has given me, but ^(H)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^(I)looks on the Son and ^(J)believes in him ^(K)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
