19 Therefore, in answer, Jesus* went on to say to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative,* but only what he beholds the Father doing.+ For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

28 Therefore Jesus said: “When once YOU have lifted up+ the Son of man,+ then YOU will know that I am [he],+ and that I do nothing of my own initiative;*+ but just as the Father taught me I speak these things.+

15 He is the image+ of the invisible+ God, the firstborn+ of all creation;

3 He is the reflection* of [his] glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,*+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power;+ and after he had made a purification for our sins+ he sat down on the right hand+ of the Majesty* in lofty places.+
