John 5:17-25

¹⁷Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

¹⁸Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

¹⁹Then Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless He sees the Father do it, for whatever He does, the Son does likewise.

²⁰The Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does. He will show Him even greater works than these, that you may marvel.

²¹As the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whoever He wishes.

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

²³that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent Him.

²⁴“Most assuredly, I tell you, the person who hears my words and believes in Him who sent me has everlasting life, and won’t come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

²⁵Most assuredly, I tell you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of God’s Son, and those who hear will live.
