Referring to can do nothing, not to of himself. Jesus, being one with God, can do nothing apart from Him.
The Father do (τὸν πατέρα ποιοῦντα)

Likewise (ὁμοίως)
Better, as Rev., in like manner. Likewise is popularly understood as equivalent to also; but the word indicates identity of action based upon identity of nature.
