Jesus says: "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me." In John 5:30
And
"49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
I find these two verses to be connected.
I would that you would see the connection, but allow the Lord to speak to you what He desires to speak to you through these verses.
Love you.
