Jesus answered them, Many good works, [ kala (G2570) erga (G2041)] - that is, works of pure benevolence; to which Peter thus alludes (Acts 10:38), "Who went about doing good" [ euergetoon (G2109)], or as a Benefactor: and see Mark 7:37.

From my Father - not so much by His power, but as directly commissioned by Him to do them. This He says, as Luthardt properly remarks, to meet the imputation of unwarrantable assumption of the divine prerogatives --

For which of those works do ye stone me? - or 'are ye stoning Me;' that is, going to do it.
