more to kill him; not only was he
breaking the Sabbath, but he was
even calling God his own Father,
making himself equal with God.

14. John 5:20-22 (NLT)
For the Father loves the Son and shows him
everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will
show him how to do even greater works than
healing this man. Then you will truly be
astonished. 21 For just as the Father gives life to
those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives
life to anyone he wants.22 In addition, the
Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the
Son absolute authority to judge.

more than conquerors
through him who loved us.

incredible greatness of God’s power for us
who believe him. This is the same mighty
power20 that raised Christ from the dead
and seated him in the place of honour at
God’s right hand in the heavenly
realms. 21 Now he is far above any ruler or
authority or power or leader or anything
else—not only in this world but also in the
world to come.
