John 5:17‑29• 17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
 18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
 19Then 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.
 20For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
 21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
 22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
 23That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent him.
 24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:17‑29)

• His speech thoroughly expresses Himself. Essentially [Alford], precisely [Godet], What He is. He also speaks. These alternatives, suggested by various interpreters, differ no doubt in degrees of accuracy; but substantially they agree in identifying the Lord with His utterance also, for He is the truth. (“John 8” by W. Kelly)

WK Translation Notes

a
"Absolutely [or, in principle] what also I speak to you" reflects justly the language, the order of the words, the grammar, and above all the bearing of the context and of this sentence in particular. His speech thoroughly expresses himself. Essentially, precisely, what he is, he also speaks.
