In the Bible, the Lord Jesus said that He cannot do anything on His own authority. In the Quran, the Lord Jesus said I heal the blind, and the leper, and raise the dead to life by the permission of Allah.

The verse John 5:30 determined how Jesus did his miracles.
The Lord Jesus (Peace be upon Him) said that He cannot do anything on His Own.
I will show you (in the appendix) how the editors of 38 different Bible’s versions understand, express and present the Lord Jesus’ saying.
Here, Jesus said that He cannot do anything on His own authority.
This indicates that there is a Supreme Higher Authority which commanded Jesus to do what He has done.
What were the Acts of the Lord Jesus?
Indeed, the Lord Jesus did many miracles, He used to heal the diseased, to cure the blind and the leper etc. and to raise the dead to life.
The question to our Lord Jesus is: Could you our Lord do all of that on your own authority?
The Lord Jesus replies plainly: “I cannot do anything on my own authority”
But, what is the Higher Authority which commanded Jesus to do what He did.
Do not waste your time searching the Bible to get the answer of this crucial question; the Bible will not reply.
Well, let us see what the Quran says about this decisive point.
The verse 3:49 of the Quran according to Pickthal translation:
“And will make him a messenger unto the children of Israel, (saying): lo! I come unto you with a sign from your Lord. Lo! I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it and it is a bird, by Allah’s leave. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead, by Allah’s leave. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store up in your houses. Lo! Herein verily is a portent for you, if ye are to be believers”.
You may have noticed that the above verse adds more miracles that have done by the Lord Jesus (Peace be upon Him) which are not present in the Bible.
