John 5:22-27

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.
