for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

and they said, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.'
Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;
my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;
I and the Father are one.'
Jesus answered them, 'Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;
