John 5:19-24

¹⁹Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own authority. I do only the kind of things that I see my Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.

²⁰My Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me the miracles that he wants me to do that will be greater than the ones that you have already seen me do, so that you may be amazed.

²¹For example, just like my Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give eternal life to everyone that I want to.

²²Furthermore, my Father is not the one who judges people concerning their sins. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,

²³in order that all people may honor me, just like they honor my Father. My Father considers that anyone who does not honor me is not honoring him, the one who sent me.

²⁴Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that God is the one who sent me have eternal life. God will not ◄condemn them/say that he will punish them►. They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have eternal life.
