John 5:19-40

19ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and was sayingG3004 to them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 1the SonG5207 canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756 G3762 of HimselfG1438, unlessG302 G3361 it is somethingG5100 He seesG991 the FatherG3962 doingG4160; for whateverG3739 G302 2the FatherG3962 doesG4160, theseG3778 thingsG3778 the SonG5207 alsoG2532 doesG4160 in the sameG3668 wayG3668. 20 3For the FatherG3962 lovesG5368 the SonG5207 and showsG1166 Him allG3956 thingsG3956 that He HimselfG846 is doingG4160; and the Father will showG1166 Him 4greaterG3173 worksG2041 than theseG3778, soG2443 thatG2443 you will beG2296 amazedG2296. 21For justG5618 as the FatherG3962 raisesG1453 the deadG3498 and 5givesG2227 them lifeG2227, soG3779 6the SonG5207 alsoG2532 givesG2227 lifeG2227 toG2227 whomG3739 He wishesG2309. 22For not evenG3761 the FatherG3962 judgesG2919 anyoneG3762, but 7He has givenG1325 allG3956 judgmentG2920 to the SonG5207, 23soG2443 thatG2443 allG3956 will honorG5091 the SonG5207 justG2531 asG2531 they honorG5091 the FatherG3962. 8The one who does not honorG5091 the SonG5207 does not honorG5091 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Him.

24“TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, the one who hearsG191 My wordG3056, and 9believesG4100 Him who sentG3992 Me, hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, and 10does not comeG2064 into judgmentG2920, but has 11passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222. 25TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 12 13a timeG5610 is comingG2064 and 14even nowG3568 has arrivedG1510, whenG3753 15the deadG3498 will hearG191 the voiceG5456 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, and thoseG3588 who 16hearG191 will liveG2198. 26For justG5618 as the FatherG3962 hasG2192 lifeG2222 in HimselfG1438, soG3779 He 17gaveG1325 to the SonG5207 alsoG2532 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 in HimselfG1438; 27and He gaveG1325 Him authorityG1849 to 18executeG4160 judgmentG2920, becauseG3754 He is 19the SonG5207 of ManG444. 28Do not beG2296 amazedG2296 at thisG3778; for 20 21a timeG5610 is comingG2064 whenG1722 G3739 22allG3956 whoG3588 are in the tombsG3419 will hearG191 His voiceG5456, 29and will comeG1607 outG1607: 23thoseG3588 who didG4160 the goodG18 deeds to a resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222, thoseG3588 who committedG4238 the badG5337 deeds to a resurrectionG386 of judgmentG2920.

30“24I canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756 G3762 25on My ownG1683. As I hearG191, I judgeG2919; and 26My judgmentG2920 is 27righteousG1342, becauseG3754 I do not seekG2212 My ownG1699 willG2307 but 28the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me.

31“29IfG1437 I alone testifyG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, My testimonyG3141 is not 30trueG227. 32There is 31anotherG243 who testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 Me, and I knowG3609 that the testimonyG3141 whichG3739 He givesG3140 aboutG4012 Me is trueG227. 33You have sentG649 messengers to JohnG2491, and he 32has testifiedG3140 to the truthG225. 34But 33the testimonyG3141 I receiveG2983 is not from manG444, but I sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778 soG2443 thatG2443 you may be savedG4982. 35He was 34the lampG3088 that was burningG2545 and shiningG5316, and you 35were willingG2309 to rejoiceG21 for 36a whileG5610 in his lightG5457. 36But the testimonyG3141 I haveG2192 is greaterG3173 than the testimony of JohnG2491; for 37the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 Me 38to accomplishG5048--the veryG846 worksG2041 that I doG4160--testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me, that the FatherG3962 39has sentG649 Me. 37And the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me, 40He has testifiedG3140 aboutG4012 Me. You have neitherG3777 heardG191 His voiceG5456 at anyG4455 timeG4455, norG3777 seenG3708 His formG1491. 38AlsoG2532 you do not haveG2192 41His wordG3056 remainingG3306 in you, becauseG3754 you do not believeG4100 Him whomG3739 He 42sentG649. 39 43 44You examineG2038 the ScripturesG1124 becauseG3754 you thinkG1380 that in them you haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; and it is 45thoseG1565 very Scriptures that testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me; 40and yet you are unwillingG3756 G2309 to comeG2064 to Me soG2443 thatG2443 you may haveG2192 lifeG2222.
