John 5:17-29

17But He answered them, “My Father 1is working until now, and I Myself am working.” 18For this reason therefore 2the Jews 3were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, 4making Himself equal with God.

19Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, 5the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever 6the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way. 207For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him 8greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21For just as the Father raises the dead and 9gives them life, so 10the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. 22For not even the Father judges anyone, but 11He has given all judgment to the Son, 23so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. 12The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

24“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and 13believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and 14does not come into judgment, but has 15passed out of death into life. 25Truly, truly, I say to you, 1617a time is coming and 18even now has arrived, when 19the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who 20hear will live. 26For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He 21gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; 27and He gave Him authority to 22execute judgment, because He is 23the Son of Man. 28Do not be amazed at this; for 2425a time is coming when 26all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29and will come out: 27those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.
