John 5:20-47

201For the FatherG3962 lovesG5368 the SonG5207, and showsG1166 Him allG3956 thingsG3956 that He HimselfG846 is doingG4160; and the Father will showG1166 Him 2greaterG3173 worksG2041 than theseG3778, soG2443 that you will marvelG2296. 21For justG5618 as the FatherG3962 raisesG1453 the deadG3498 and 3givesG2227 them lifeG2227, evenG2532 soG3779 4the SonG5207 alsoG2532 givesG2227 lifeG2227 to whomG3739 He wishesG2309. 22For not evenG3761 the FatherG3962 judgesG2919 anyoneG3762, but 5He has givenG1325 allG3956 judgmentG2920 to the SonG5207, 23soG2443 that allG3956 will honorG5091 the SonG5207 evenG2531 as they honorG5091 the FatherG3962. 6He who does not honorG5091 the SonG5207 does not honorG5091 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Him.

24“TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, he who hearsG191 My wordG3056, and 7believesG4100 Him who sentG3992 Me, hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 8does not comeG2064 into judgmentG2920, but has 9passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222. 25TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 10an hourG5610 is comingG2064 and nowG3568 is, whenG3753 11the deadG3498 will hearG191 the voiceG5456 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, and thoseG3588 who 12hearG191 will liveG2198. 26For justG5618 as the FatherG3962 hasG2192 lifeG2222 in HimselfG1438, evenG2532 soG3779 He 13gaveG1325 to the SonG5207 alsoG2532 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 in HimselfG1438; 27and He gaveG1325 Him authorityG1849 to 14executeG4160 judgmentG2920, becauseG3754 He is 15the SonG5207 of ManG444. 28Do not marvelG2296 at thisG3778; for 16an hourG5610 is comingG2064, in whichG3739 17allG3956 whoG3588 are in the tombsG3419 will hearG191 His voiceG5456, 29and will comeG1607 forthG1607; 18thoseG3588 who didG4160 the goodG18 deeds to a resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222, thoseG3588 who committedG4238 the evilG5337 deeds to a resurrectionG386 of judgmentG2920.

30“19I canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756G3762 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683. As I hearG191, I judgeG2919; and 20My judgmentG2920 is justG1342, becauseG3754 I do not seekG2212 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 21the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me.

31“22IfG1437 I alone testifyG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, My testimonyG3141 is not 23trueG227. 32There is 24anotherG243 who testifiesG3140 of Me, and I knowG3609 that the testimonyG3141 whichG3739 He givesG3140 aboutG4012 Me is trueG227. 33You have sentG649 to JohnG2491, and he 25has testifiedG3140 to the truthG225. 34But 26the testimonyG3141 which I receiveG2983 is not from manG444, but I sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778 soG2443 that you may be savedG4982. 35He was 27the lampG3088 that was burningG2545 and was shiningG5316 and you 28were willingG2309 to rejoiceG21 for 29a whileG5610 in his lightG5457. 36But the testimonyG3141 which I haveG2192 is greaterG3173 than the testimony of JohnG2491; for 30the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 Me 31to accomplishG5048--the veryG846 worksG2041 that I doG4160--testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me, that the FatherG3962 32has sentG649 Me. 37And the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me, 33He has testifiedG3140 of Me. You have neitherG3777 heardG191 His voiceG5456 at anyG4455 timeG4455 norG3777 seenG3708 His formG1491. 38You do not haveG2192 34His wordG3056 abidingG3306 in you, for you do not believeG4100 Him whomG3739 He 35sentG649. 393637You searchG2045 the ScripturesG1124 becauseG3754 you thinkG1380 that in them you haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; it is 38theseG1565 that testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me; 40and you are unwillingG3756G2309 to comeG2064 to Me soG2443 that you may haveG2192 lifeG2222. 4139I do not receiveG2983 gloryG1391 from menG444; 42but I knowG1097 you, that you do not haveG2192 the loveG26 of GodG2316 in yourselvesG1438. 43I have comeG2064 in My Father’sG3962 nameG3686, and you do not receiveG2983 Me; 40ifG1437 anotherG243 comesG2064 in his ownG2398 nameG3686, you will receiveG2983 him. 44HowG4459 canG1410 you believeG4100, when you 41receiveG2983 42gloryG1391 from oneG240 anotherG240 and you do not seekG2212 43the 44gloryG1391 that is from 45the one and onlyG3441 GodG2316? 45Do not thinkG1380 that I will accuseG2723 you beforeG4314 the FatherG3962; the one who accusesG2723 you is 46MosesG3475, in whomG3739 you have setG1679 your hopeG1679. 46For ifG1487 you believedG4100 MosesG3475, you would believeG4100 Me, for 47he wroteG1125 aboutG4012 Me. 47But 48ifG1487 you do not believeG4100 his writingsG1121, howG4459 will you believeG4100 My wordsG4487?”
