John 5:19

Verily, verily. See on 1 51.

But what He seeth. Referring to can do nothing, not to of himself. Jesus, being one with God, can do nothing apart from Him.

The Father do [τ ο ν π α τ ε ρ α π ο ι ο υ ν τ α]. Rev., rightly, doing. The participle brings out more sharply the coincidence of action between the Father and the Son : "the inner and immediate intuition which the Son perpetually has of the Father's work" (Meyer).

Likewise [ο μ ο ι ω ς]. Better, as Rev., in like manner. Likewise is popularly understood as equivalent to also; but the word indicates identity of action based upon identity of nature.
