Verse 21
The fact that the Father discloses all He does to the Son and the Son does whatever the Father does is clear from the Son’s giving life to the dead. The Jews acknowledged that only God could raise the dead (2 Kings 5:7; Ezekiel 37:13). This involves overcoming the forces of sin and death. Jesus claimed that authority now, and He demonstrated it later (John 11:41-44). His healings were a lesser demonstration of the same power. The Son’s will is so identical to the Father’s that His choices reflect the Father’s will. Eternal spiritual life and resurrected physical life are both in view.
