John 5:19-40

19Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

20For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

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

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

23that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

24“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

25Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, 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 to have life in Himself,

27and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

28Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

29and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

30I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

31“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

32There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.

33You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.

35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

36But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

37And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

38But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

39You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

40But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
