18Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even (or equal) to God.
19Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), the Son may not of himself do anything, no but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things.
20For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all (the) things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, (so) that ye wonder.
21For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth (them), so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son giveth life to whomever he desireth.)
22For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son, (For the Father judgeth no one, but hath given every judgement to the Son,)
23(so) that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.
24Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, (or hath eternal life, and he cometh not unto judgement), but passeth from death into life.
25Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men (or when the dead) shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear (it), shall live.
26For as the Father hath life in himself, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;
27and he gave to him power to make doom, (or and he gave him the authority to pass judgement), for he is man’s Son.
28Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God’s Son. (Do not wonder at this, for the hour cometh, in which all those who be in graves, shall hear the voice of God’s Son.)
29And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life or shall come forth into rising again of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. (And they who have done good, shall be resurrected for life; but they who have done evil, shall be resurrected for judgement or for condemnation.)
30I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem, or I may not of myself do anything, but as I hear, I judge, and my doom is just (or and my judgement is just and fair), for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.
31If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true; (If I testify about myself, my testimony is not accepted as true;)
32another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me. (but there is another who testifieth about me, and I know that his testimony is true, what he testifieth about me.)
33Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to the truth. (Ye sent messengers to John, and he testified about the truth, or and he testified truthfully.)
34But I take not witnessing of (any) man; but I say these things, that ye be safe. (But I do not need the testimony of anyone; but I say these things, so that ye can be saved.)
35He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light; but ye would (be) glad, or (would have) joy, (or rejoice), at an hour in his light.
36But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them or forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them, those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me. (But I have a greater witness than John, or But I have better testimony than John’s, for the works that my Father gave to me to complete, or to finish, those works that I do testify about me, that the Father sent me.)
37And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me, (or And the Father who sent me, he testified about me). (But) Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness, or (his) form.
38And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.
39Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me. (Ye study the Scriptures, through which ye hope to gain eternal life; and they do indeed testify about me.)
40And (yet) ye will not come to me, (so) that ye (can) have (eternal) life.
41I take not clearness of men; (I do not receive my glory, or my honour, from people;)
42but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me (or but ye did not receive me). If another come in his own name, ye shall receive him.
