John 5:20

20 The Father loves the Son and includes him in everything he is doing.

John 5:20 In-Context

18 That really set them off. The Jews were now not only out to expose him; they were out to kill him. Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God his own Father, putting himself on a level with God.
19 So Jesus explained himself at length. "I'm telling you this straight. The Son can't independently do a thing, only what he sees the Father doing. What the Father does, the Son does.
20 The Father loves the Son and includes him in everything he is doing.
21 for in the same way that the Father raises the dead and creates life, so does the Son. The Son gives life to anyone he chooses.
22 Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son
