This here
"in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. "
Tells us of the power of God over His creation. God gives life to the dead, fantastic, only God can give life to that which is dead.
Jesus broke the sabbath, which violated the LAW, angering the Jews who cared only about straining out gnats.
"Blind guides--those straining out the gnat and swallowing the camel!"
Jesus here tells us
"21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. "
I love how the word of God confirms and complements the word of God.
John 5
18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Like the Father, like the Son, they are of the same mind, giving life to whom they will. That would be in the Old Covenant and in the New.
