“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”
'For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. — the Father's love (agapao) motivates the revelation of his works (erga) to the Son. The promise of greater works (megalatera erga) than healing anticipates Jesus' raising the dead (vv. 25-29). The purpose clause (hina) indicates that these greater works aim at producing belief through amazement.
