John 5:23-36

²³that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

²⁴'Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

²⁵'Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

²⁶for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

²⁷and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

²⁸'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

³⁰'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

³²another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

³³ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

³⁵he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
