Contradiction with Numbers 11:17

This verse indicates that the power to perform works is not restricted to just selected disciples, as God takes from the spirit on Moses and puts it on the seventy elders, suggesting a broader distribution of divine power.

Numbers 11:17: And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not thyself alone.

John 14:12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
