John 5:21-30

21And just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.

22The Father, 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. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24“Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life 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, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

27And he has granted him the right to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28Do 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.

30“I can do nothing on my own. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
