17But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”
18This was why the Jews tried even harder to kill him, for not only did he break the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
19Jesus explained to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does as well.
20For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.
21For just as the Father gives life to those he resurrects from the dead, in the same way the Son also gives life to those that he wants.
22The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,
23so that everyone may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
24I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won't be condemned, but have gone from death to life.
25I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it's here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!
26Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.
27The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.
28Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice
29and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
30I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
31If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;
32but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.
33You asked John about me, and he told the truth,
34but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.
35John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.
36But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,
