John 5:25-29

25I tell you this: A time will soon come when those who are dead in their spirits will hear the voice of the Son of God. Yes, it is that time already. Those people who hear that message will receive true life.

26The Father himself can give people life. In the same way, he has given authority to the Son to give people life.

27The Father has also given authority to the Son to judge people. That is because I am the Son of Man.

28Do not be surprised by this. There will be a time when all the dead people will hear the Son's voice.

29They will come out from under the ground. Those people who have done good things will rise from death and they will live with God. Those people who have done evil things will also rise from death. But they will rise so that God can punish them as guilty people.’
