John 5:21-30

21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

22For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

23that 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.

24Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25"Truly, truly, I say to 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 as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.

27And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

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