NASB | John 5:19 ¶ Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 5:19 ¶ So Jesus answered them by saying, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way. |

Bible Note: Tim, Thanks, but I do think that some Bible translations are based on errant theology and are therefore deceptive. (i.e. the Scofield Refernce Bible) Here are some thoughts: Matt 5:18... "heaven and earth" must be figurative, or else we are all still under the Law. "Heaven and earth" must disappear before the Law, so if the Law has been fulfilled, then "everything" has been accomplished and "heaven and earth" have disappeared. Read Isaiah 51:16. "I have put my word in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of my hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are my people'". (NASV) From this article: http://newjerusalemministriesboards.com/rheaven.htm ...the point is made that "God created Israel's "heaven and earth" by giving them his Covenant. Now if he destroyed that Old Covenant heaven and earth and gave a New Covenant, would he not thereby be creating a new heavens and new earth? This is precisely the thought in the New Covenant scriptures." Acts 1:8 predicts the fulfillment of the Great Commission, which Paul clearly states has been completed (Rom. 10:16-18) for instance. Although I can see other instances where "earth" can be translated as more than just "land of Isreal", I cannot see how it could be translated as "the planet as known in the 21st century" given the context and supporting scriptures. |
