John 5:21-32

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.
