John 5:20

Jesus next clarified how He could do whatever the Father does. He could do so because the Father loves the Son (cf. John 3:36). Moreover the Father shows the Son whatever the Father does. Continuous disclosure indicates love. The greater works than "these" (i.e., the healing of a paralytic and commanding him to carry his mat on the Sabbath) include giving life to the dead (John 5:21) and pronouncing final judgment (John 5:22). Part of the purpose of these greater works was to face His critics with His divine authority so they would consider His claims.
