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. |
Subject: First Century Second Coming? |
Bible Note: Steve, Step back and read all of Matthew 16. Does is really make sense to split off the last verse as to referring to something different? "the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels" is the same as "the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." So where is the "reward each person according to what he has done." In the Transfiguration. When Jesus says "I tell you the truth" or "Verily I say unto you", he is always referring to the point he just made. As far as Luke 21:31-33, put yourself in the place of the original audience. Wouldn't you think that YOU were to "see these things happening" in YOUR generation? The kicker is that this generation did witness "Jeruslem surrounded by armies" (Luke 21:20) during the seige by the Romans leading up to Jerusalem's destruction in AD 70. |
