John 5:22-43

²²For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son

²³so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

²⁴Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has passed from death to life.

²⁵Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²⁶For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,

²⁷and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.

²⁸Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will hear his voice

²⁹and will come out. Those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

³⁰I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.

³¹If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.

³²There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.

³³You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.

³⁴But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.

³⁵John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.

³⁶Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me that the Father has sent me.

³⁷The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.

³⁸You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.

³⁹You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me,

⁴⁰and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

⁴¹I do not receive praise from men,

⁴²but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

⁴³I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would receive him.
