John 5:30

+ 5:30. MP: Messiah comes to do God’s will. (Ps 40:7-8 (context 40:6-10)) + 5:30. MP: Messiah is everlasting with the authority of his father (Yahweh and ancestor David).

(Is 9:6b) + 5:30. MP: Messiah is just. (Zech 9:9c) I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, + 5:30. MP: Messiah will act with righteousness. (Ps 45:7) and my judgment is upright; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of 'Avi ·my Father· who sent me.
