John 5:30

John 5:30 in Multiple Translations

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

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.

I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

I do not do anything like that by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear my Father tell me. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please my Father, who sent me.

You see, I can’t do anything on my own. My father sent me to the world, and he tells me the way to judge. I only want to judge the way he wants me to, not my own way. And his way is the right way, so I only judge the right way.

John 5:30 Summary

[Jesus is saying that He can't do anything on His own, and that He only does what God the Father tells Him to do. This means that Jesus is completely dependent on God and is guided by His will, which is an important example for us to follow, as seen in John 5:30 and also in John 8:28. By seeking God's will above our own, we can trust that our decisions and actions will be just and pleasing to Him, just like Jesus' judgments are just because He seeks to do the Father's will, as stated in John 5:30.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Jesus mean when He says 'I can do nothing by Myself'?

Jesus is emphasizing His dependence on God the Father, highlighting that His actions and judgments are guided by the Father's will, as seen in John 5:30 and supported by John 8:28.

How can we be sure that Jesus' judgment is just?

According to John 5:30, Jesus' judgment is just because He seeks to do the will of God the Father, rather than His own will, which is also reflected in John 6:38 where Jesus says He came to do the will of Him who sent Him.

What role does the will of the Father play in Jesus' decisions?

The will of the Father is the guiding principle for Jesus' actions and decisions, as stated in John 5:30, and this is further emphasized in John 4:34 where Jesus says His food is to do the will of Him who sent Him and to finish His work.

How does Jesus' statement about not seeking His own will relate to our own lives?

Jesus' example encourages us to seek God's will above our own desires, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 26:39, where Jesus Himself prayed for God's will to be done.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some areas in my life where I am trying to do things on my own, rather than seeking God's guidance and will?
  2. How can I, like Jesus, cultivate a deeper dependence on God and seek His will above my own desires?
  3. In what ways can I apply the principle of seeking God's will, as seen in Jesus' life, to my daily decisions and actions?
  4. What would it look like for me to prioritize God's will over my own, even when it's difficult or challenging?

Gill's Exposition on John 5:30

I can of mine own self do nothing,.... This is the conclusion of the matter, the winding up of the several arguments concerning the Son's equality to the Father, and the application of the whole to Christ.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown 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.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 5:30

I can of mine own self do nothing; neither considered as God, nor as Mediator. As God, the Father and Christ were one, and what one Person in the Holy Trinity doth, all do; so that has did nothing in that capacity separately from his Father. As Mediator, he did nothing of himself; he finished the work which his Father gave him to do. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is just; as the Father revealed his will to him, for the administration of his mediatory kingdom in the world, so he judged; and therefore his judgment must necessarily be just and true. Because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me; for his will was not a will proper to himself, so as it was not also common to his Father, but diverse from the will of his Father; but as his essence, so his will, was the same with his Father; and he being by the Father sent into the world to do his will, accordingly did nothing as Mediator but what was his Father’ s will as well as his own, in nothing diverse from his Father’ s.

Trapp's Commentary on John 5:30

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. Ver. 30. I can of mine own self do nothing] But by the power communicated unto me, in that eternal generation. As I hear] So John 5:19; "as I see," which Beza understandeth to be spoken in respect of his human nature, as it is hypostatically united to the Divine.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 5:30

(30) For “the will of the Father which hath sent Me,” in the last clause, read, with nearly all the best MSS., the will of Him that sent Me. (Comp. John 5:36-37.) The verse is the expression, once again, but now with special reference to judgment, of the thought with which the discourse opened, and which runs as a current through the whole. (Comp. Notes on John 5:19; John 5:22). As in all His works (John 5:19), so in the greater works of life-giving (John 5:26) and of judgment, the Son cannot act apart from the Father. The judgment must be just, because it is not one of an isolated will, but one in accord with the eternal will of God. He seeth the Father’s works (John 5:19), and in like manner doeth them; He heareth the Father’s will, and that alone He seeketh. The tenses in this verse are present, and the judgment is therefore to be interpreted without limitation of time. It is one which He is evermore passing on every act and word and thought. (Comp. John 9:39.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 5:30

Verse 30. I can of mine own self do nothing] Because of my intimate union with God. See Clarke on John 5:19. I seek not mine own will] I do not, I cannot attempt to do any thing without God. This, that is, the Son of man, the human nature which is the temple of my Divinity, John 1:14, is perfectly subject to the Deity that dwells in it. In this respect our blessed Lord is the perfect pattern of all his followers. In every thing their wills should submit to the will of their heavenly Father. Nothing is more common than to hear people say, I will do it because I choose. He who has no better reason to give for his conduct than his own will shall in the end have the same reason to give for his eternal destruction. "I followed my own will, in opposition to the will of God, and now I am plunged in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone." Reader, God hath sent thee also to do his will: his will is that thou shouldst abandon thy sins, and believe in the Lord Jesus. Hast thou yet done it?

Cambridge Bible on John 5:30

30. The Son’s qualification for these high powers is the perfect harmony between His will and that of the Father.I can of mine own self] Change to the first person. He identifies Himself with the Son. It is because He is the Son that He cannot act independently: it is impossible for Him to will to do anything but what the Father wills.as I hear] From the Father: Christ’s judgment is the declaration of that which the Father communicates to Him. And hence Christ’s judgment must be just, for it is in accordance with the Divine Will; and this is the strongest possible guarantee of its justice. Comp. Matthew 26:39.

Barnes' Notes on John 5:30

Of mine own self - See John 5:19. The Messiah, the Mediator, does nothing without the concurrence and the authority of God. Such is the nature of the union subsisting between them, that he does nothing independently of God.

Whedon's Commentary on John 5:30

30. Of mine own self—Either as Son of God or Son of man he received the sustentation of the Father, and hence his action was sustained by omnipotent authority.
