John 5:19

19. The Son See note on Luke 1:25.

Nothing of himself Nothing from himself; that is, separately and independently of the unsearchable, unknowable Father.

Seeth the Father Not with a bodily eye, but by the inmost view of consciousness.

Doeth the Son likewise The doings of the Son are the doings of the unknowable Father. And the doings of that Son through his humanity are the doings of the eternal Son, and are the true expression of the eternal Father. The Father, as the original unknowable subsistence, is recognized in the God manifest, the Son; and all he is and does is in and by and through him. So that this Sabbath work of mine is endowed with all the divinity and authority of God the Father Almighty.

And so these Jews were right in holding him responsible for “making himself equal with God.”
