John 5:22–30

Equality with God in Authority

²²For the Father judges no one, but ^qhas committed all judgment to the Son, ²³that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^rHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

²⁴“Most assuredly, I say to you, ^she who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, ^tbut has passed from death into life. ²⁵Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^uthe dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. ²⁶For ^vas the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have ^wlife in Himself, ²⁷and ^xhas given Him authority to execute judgment also, ^ybecause He is the Son of Man. ²⁸Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^zhear His voice ^29aand come forth—^bthose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. ^30cI can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because ^dI do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
