John 5:22–30

²²The Father, ^min fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ⁿAnyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. ^o

Life and Judgment

²⁴“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life ^pand will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

²⁵“I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, ^qwhen the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ^r26For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted to the Son ^sto have life in Himself. ²⁷And He has granted Him the right to pass judgment, ^tbecause He is the ^•Son of Man. ^u28Do 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 judgment.

³⁰“I can do nothing on My own. I judge only as I hear, and My judgment ^vis righteous, ^wbecause I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. ^x
