Jesus is accused of breaking the Sabbath making himself God by calling God his Father.
John 5:19 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:19 Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
Amen, Amen, I tell you. The Son never has the power to perform anything by himself, except what he watches the Father performing. Because whatever that one there performs, the son also performs these things in the same way.
The verb translated as "can" is not just a helper verb as it is in English. In Greek, it means "having power or the ability". It is the active verb here. This verb is negated by the preceding particle meaning "no.". "The son doesn't have power". However, these is a second negative in the clause, the Greek word meaning "nothing" following the infinitive, "to do." The clause literally says, "the Son doesn't have the power to do nothing by himself." In English, the double negative converts into a positive, but in Greek, a double negative is a more extreme negation, which actually makes more sense. This is hard to capture in English, but we use the word "never" to capture this in English, converting the "nothing" to "anything." So the sense is "the Son never has have the power to do anything by himself."
There are two special Greek constructions used here that are ignored in translation.
The untranslated "except" comes before the phrase about "sees the Father doing." It is from the two Greek words meaning "when not." The "when" indicates more of an expectation of something happening than "if" alone. This is how we use the word "when". The untranslated word negative used here is the Greek negative of a subjective opinion, commands, and requests.
Before the With the "what" above, this means "whatever" is from a special construction connecting a pronoun with a conditional particle, meaning "whatever" or "whoever." Together, they begin a relative, conditional clause that refers to each individual person or thing. The verb form required in Greek is one of possibilities that need not be translated in English.
The Son watches the Father and copies him.
Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται ὁ υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδὲν
Ameni, Amen, I tell you. never has the power The son, to perform by himself. anything
ἂν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν πατέρα ποιοῦντα:
Except what he watches the Father performing.
ἃ γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ.

Verily, -- The word translated as "verily" is the Hebrew word that means "truly" or "certainly", but it sounds like the Greek word with the same meaning. In Greek, the word also means "to reap".
verily, -- The word translated as "verily" is the Hebrew word that means "truly" or "certainly", but it sounds like the Greek word with the same meaning. In Greek, the word also means "to reap".
I -- This is from the first-person, singular form of the verb.
say -- The word translated as "I tell" is the most common word that means "to say" and "to speak", but when used with an objective noun or pronoun, the sense is "say of" or "speak of". When two accusative objects are used, the sense is "say of him this" or "call him this". The form Jesus uses to describe his own speaking can be either indicative, "I say/tell" or subjunctive, "I should/could say/tell". It also has many ancillary meanings such as "to count" ("to number" or like we might say, "to recount" a story) or "to choose for yourself". Christ usually uses this word to refer to his own speaking or teaching.
unto -- This word "unto" comes from the dative case of the following word that requires the addition of a preposition in English. The most common is a "to" for the English indirect object.
you, -- The "you" here is the second-person, plural pronoun in the form of an object.
the -- The word translated as "the" is the Greek definite article. The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
Son -- The word translated as "son" more generally means "child" or "descendant". The phrase "the son of man" is the common way Christ refers to himself. It is discussed in detail in this article. Its sense may be "the child of the man".
missing "not" -- (MW) The untranslated word "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It means "no," "not" or"no truly". It makes a negative statement of fact. Adding "really" to the sentence captures the same idea. When a negative precedes the verb, it affects the whole clause. When it precedes other words, its force is limited to those words.
can - (WF) The word translated as "can" means "having the power" or "having the desire" to accomplish something. Often, in English, "can" is a helper verb, indicating a possibility. This is not a helping verb, but the active verb in the clause.
do -- (WF) The Greek word translated as "do" has the primary meaning of "making" or producing" something or "causing" or "performing" as service. Here, "creating" works well because it is used to describe what the Father does. It describes a productive action. It is not as broad a word as the English "do", which covers all actions, productive or not. The form is not an active verb, but an infinitive, "to create".
nothing -- The Greek word translated as "nothing" also means "no one" and other negative nouns. Here is neuter so "nothing". However, this is a repetition of the idea after the sentence, not its immediate object. And, as part of a double negative sentence, it should be translated as "anything" in English.
of -- (CW) The word translated as "from" means "from" in both locations and when referring to a source or a cause. It also means the instrument "by" which a thing is done and "away from". The "by" works the best here so as not to be confused with the genitive form of the word.
himself, -- "Himself" is a special reflexive pronoun that means "himself", "herself", and so on. When used in the possessive, it has the sense of "his own".
but -- (WW) The Greek word meaning "when" indicates more of an expectation of something happening than "if" alone. This is how we use the word "when".
missing "except" -- (MW) The untranslated "except" comes from the two Greek words meaning "when not." The "when" indicates more of an expectation of something happening than "if" alone. This is how we use the word "when". The untranslated word negative used here is the Greek negative of a subjective opinion, commands, and requests.
what -- The word translated as "what" means primarily "anything" or "something" in the neuter as it is here.
he -- This is from the third-person, singular form of the verb.
missing "should" or "might"-- (MW) A helping verb is necessary because the following verb is a verb of possibility, a subjunctive, something that "should" or "might" occur. The helping verb is not needed in a clause beginning with an "if" or a "when" untranslated here. With the "what" above, this means "whatever" is from a special construction connecting a pronoun with a conditional particle, meaning "whatever" or "whoever." Together, they begin a relative, conditional clause that refers to each individual person or thing. The verb form required in Greek is one of possibilities that need not be translated in English.
seeth -- -- The verb translated as "see" means "to see," "to watch," "to look to," "to look like," "to beware," and "to look for." It is best translated as "watch" if possible to avoid confusions with the other verb that means "see" in a way that aligns more with English. It is the more tangible sense of seeing, such as seeing what is right in front of you rather than understanding so "watch" works better. "Look" does not work as well because it doesn't take a direct object and this word does.
the -- The word translated as "the" is the Greek definite article, without a noun, it has the sense of "the one". The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those") than the English "the". See this article for more.

The form of the word is not an active verb but a participle, a verb in the form of an adjective, "producing".
for - --The word translated as "for" introduces a reason or explanation so "because" and, in questions, "why". However, since this word always appears in the second position, it is more like an aside remark like, "consequently" or "as a cause".
what -- The word translated as "what" is a demonstrative pronoun ("this", "that"), but it often acts as a pronoun ("the one that"), especially a connective pronoun ("the one that") introducing a dependent clause.

With the "what" above, this means "whatever" is from a special construction connecting a pronoun with a conditional particle, meaning "whatever" or "whoever."
