In John 5:18-30, Jesus is confronted by the Jewish leaders who are angry that He is claiming to be equal with God. Jesus responds by explaining that He only does what He sees the Father doing and that the Father has given Him the authority to judge all people. Jesus emphasizes that He and the Father are one and that those who honor the Son also honor the Father. In essence, Jesus is teaching that the Father and the Son are united in purpose and action, and that by following and obeying Jesus, we are also following and obeying the Father.
