There is no giving up of any powers, He said He could’ve called legions of angels to help Him at any moment. God and Jesus are one.
Jesus did not say he would himself direct angels to his side, he said he could call on /ask his Father to deliver angles to his side. Matthew 26:53 http://biblehub.com/matthew/26-53.htm
and when Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to his disciples, it was in the form of a request he would put to his Father to provide such. John 14:16 http://biblehub.com/john/14-16.htm
John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
*** i have no doubt that Jesus would receive from Father what he requests, but the powers and authority Jesus has are only semi-autonomous for they are all granted and delivered by the Father.
