The (Holy) Spirit (John 5:30)

As with the previous post, one word makes total sense when viewed from pervious understanding.

13:9 AND YESHUA SAID TO THEM, “ONLY FROM THE TRUTH I TELL YOU, THE SON CAN DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF BUT WHAT HE SEES THE SPIRIT DOING. FOR WHATEVER THINGS THE SPIRIT DOES, THESE THE SON DOES LIKEWISE, FOR THE SON IS ONE WITH THE SPIRIT IN THE KINGDOM. SHE WILL SHOW HIM GREATER WORKS THAN THESE, THAT YOU MAY MARVEL. FOR AS THE SPIRIT GIVES THEM LIFE, SO TOO THE SON ALSO GIVES LIFE TO THOSE WHO CAN HEAR HIM. FOR THE SPIRIT JUDGES NO ONE, AND ONLY FROM THE TRUTH I TELL YOU, WHOSOEVER HEARS MY WORDS AND BELIEVES HAS ETERNAL LIFE AND HAS PASSED OUT OF DEATH INTO LIFE. ONLY FROM THE TRUTH I TELL YOU, THE HOUR COMES, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE DEAD WILL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON; AND THOSE WHO HEAR WILL LIVE. I CAN OF MYSELF DO NOTHING. IF I TESTIFY ABOUT MYSELF, MY WITNESS IS NOT VALID. IT IS ANOTHER WHO TESTIFIES ABOUT ME. I KNOW THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT IS GIVEN ABOUT ME IS TRUE.

It’s very subtle, but John’s Gospel as now written in the New Testament always refers back to the Father. Here Jesus is saying that he is one with the Spirit in the Kingdom, and “she will show him greater works that these.” Can that be any clearer?
