Witnesses to Jesus
“I can of mine own self do nothing : as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”
John 5:30 (KJV)
Commentary on John 5:30
'I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.' Jesus reaffirms dependence on the Father—not inadequacy but perfect alignment. His judgment is just because it reflects the Father's will, not personal agenda. Independence from the Father would mean injustice; dependence ensures righteousness. The Son's submission guarantees judgment's justice.
