“For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.”
'For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. — Jesus claims the Father's prerogative of resurrection and life-giving. The correspondence (hoios...houtos kai) between Father's and Son's work is absolute. This statement introduces the theme that dominates the discourse: life-giving as the Son's fundamental function.
