John 5:19–29

¹⁹Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father^C does, the Son likewise does these things.^{f 20}For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works^g than these so that you will be amazed. ²¹And just as the Father raises^h the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.^{i 22}The Father,^j in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.^k Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.^l

LIFE AND JUDGMENT

²⁴“Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life^m and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

²⁵“Truly I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here,ⁿ when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.^{o 26}For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son^p to have life in himself. ²⁷And he has granted him the right to pass judgment,^q because he is the Son of Man.^{r 28}Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice ²⁹and come out—those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of condemnation.
