John 5:19–29

¹⁹Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;^g he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. ²⁰For the Father loves the Son^h and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,ⁱ so that you will be amazed. ²¹For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,^j even so the Son gives life^k to whom he is pleased to give it. ²²Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,^{l 23}that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.^m

²⁴“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent meⁿ has eternal life^o and will not be judged^p but has crossed over from death to life.^{q 25}Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come^r when the dead will hear^s the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. ²⁶For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life^t in himself. ²⁷And he has given him authority to judge^u because he is the Son of Man.

²⁸“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming^v when all who are in their graves will hear his voice ²⁹and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.^w
