John 5:27-38 in English

²⁷ and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹ and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

³⁴ But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

³⁵ He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

²⁷ and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the time is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

²⁹ and come out — those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰ I can do nothing by myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my testimony isn’t valid.

³² There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.

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

³⁴ Not that I accept human testimony, but I tell you this so that you may be saved.

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

³⁶ I have a greater testimony than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to finish — the very works that I do — testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

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

³⁸ You don’t have His words dwelling in you, because you don’t believe the One who He sent.

²⁷ And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

²⁹ And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

³⁰ I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

³⁵ He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

²⁷ and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹ And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment.

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

³⁴ But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

³⁵ He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

²⁷ Because I am the one who came from heaven, he has given me the authority to judge people concerning their sins.

²⁸ Do not be surprised about that, because there will be a time when all people who have died will hear my voice,

²⁹ and they will become alive again. Those who have lived good lives will rise from their graves and live forever. But those who have lived evil lives will rise, and I will ◄condemn them/declare that I will punish them for their sins►.

³⁰ I do not do anything like that by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear my Father tell me. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please my Father, who sent me.

³¹ If I were the only one to tell people about myself, people could rightly say that what I say is not true.

³² But there is someone else who tells people about me. And I know that what he tells people about me is true.

³³ As for you, when you sent messengers to John the Baptizer to ask about me, he told the truth about me.

³⁴ I do not need that people tell others about me. But instead, I am reminding you about what John told people about me, in order that you will believe it and be saved { God will save you}.

³⁵ John's message about me (OR, John) MET was like a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy by that message {to let that message make you happy}.

³⁶ But there is something else that tells you about me. It should prove who I am more than what John said about me. The miracles PRS that my Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.

³⁷ Furthermore, my Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.

³⁸ Furthermore, you have not believed in me, the one he sent. So you have not believed his message in your inner beings.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

³² It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

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

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

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

³⁸ You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

³² It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

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

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

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

³⁸ You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgement, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

³² It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

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

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

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

³⁸ You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

²⁷ And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

²⁹ And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

³⁰ Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

³¹ If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

³² There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

³³ You sent to John and he gave true witness.

³⁴ But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

³⁵ He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

³⁸ And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.

²⁷ and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is Son of man.

²⁸ Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹ and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

³⁰ I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

³² It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

³³ Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

³⁴ But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁶ But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

³⁸ and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.

²⁷ And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

²⁹ And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

³⁰ I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth.

³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved.

³⁵ He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

³⁶ But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

³⁸ And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

²⁷ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice

²⁹ and shall come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

³⁰ I can of My own self do nothing. Even as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

³¹ “If I alone testify of Myself, My testimony is not true.

³² There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony which He testifies concerning Me is true.

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

³⁴ But I do not receive the testimony from man, but these things I say so that you may be saved.

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

³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than John's; for the works which the Father gave to Me, that I should complete them, these very works which I do, testify of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

³⁷ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

³⁸ But you do not have His word abiding in you, because Him whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

²⁷ furthermore He gave Him the authority to pass judgment, because He is Son of Man.

²⁸ Do not marvel at this, because a time is coming in which all those in the graves will hear His voice

²⁹ and will come out—those who did good things into the resurrection of life, but those who practiced evil things into the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰ I am not able to do anything from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judging is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.

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

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

³⁴ Yet I do not accept the testimony from a man; but I say these things so that you may be saved.

³⁵ That man was a burning, shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to be glad in his light.

³⁶ But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the works that the Father gave me to complete—the very works that I am doing—they testify about me that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ “Further, the Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have neither heard His voice nor seen His form at any time.

³⁸ Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe on the very one whom He sent.

²⁷ The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice

²⁹ and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰ I 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.

³¹ If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;

³² but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.

³³ You asked John about me, and he told the truth,

³⁴ but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.

³⁵ John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.

³⁶ But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,

³⁷ and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,

³⁸ and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.

²⁷ And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.

²⁸ Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.

²⁹ And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰ I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

³¹ If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.

³² There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.

³³ Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.

³⁴ But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.

³⁵ He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.

³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.

³⁸ And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.

²⁷ and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

²⁹ and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

³⁰ I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

³⁵ He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

²⁹ and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³² There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³ Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁶ But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

²⁷ and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.

²⁸ Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,

²⁹ and will come out — those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.

³⁰ I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgement that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³¹ “If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy;

³² it is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from people; I am saying this for your salvation.

³⁵ He was the Lamp that was burning and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in his light.

³⁶ But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John's; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out — the work that I am doing — is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his messenger.

³⁷ The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;

³⁸ and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.

²⁷ and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.

²⁸ Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,

²⁹ and will come out — those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.

³⁰ I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³¹ “If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy;

³² it is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from people; I am saying this for your salvation.

³⁵ He was the Lamp that was burning and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in his light.

³⁶ But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John's; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out — the work that I am doing — is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his messenger.

³⁷ The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;

³⁸ and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

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

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is upright; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of 'Avi ·my Father· who sent me.

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

³² It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

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

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

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

³⁶ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John Yah is gracious, for the works which Abba Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Abba ·Father· has sent me.

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

³⁸ You don’t have his word living in you; because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

²⁷ and hath geven him power also to iudge in that he is the sonne of man.

²⁸ Marvayle not at this the houre shall come in the which all that are in the graves shall heare his voice

²⁹ and shall come forthe: they that have done good vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that have done evyll vnto the resurreccion of dampnacion.

³⁰ I can of myne awne selfe do nothinge at all. As I heare I iudge and my iudgement is iust because I seke not myne awne will but the will of the father which hath sent me.

³¹ Yf I beare witnes of my selfe my witnes is not true.

³² Ther is a nother that beareth witnes of me and I am sure that the witnes whiche he beareth of me is true.

³³ Ye sent vnto Iohn and he bare witnes vnto the truthe.

³⁴ But I receave not the recorde of man. Neverthelesse these thinges I saye that ye might be safe.

³⁵ He was a burninge and a shyninge light and ye wolde for a season have reioysed in his light.

³⁶ But I have greater witnes then the witnes of Iohn. For the workes which the father hath geve me to fynisshe: the same workes which I do beare witnes of me that the father sent me.

³⁷ And the father him silfe which hath sent me beareth witnes of me. Ye have not hearde his voyce at eny tyme nor ye have sene his shape:

³⁸ therto his wordes have ye not abydinge in you. For whome he hath sent: him ye beleve not.

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

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

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

³⁰ I 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.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁶ Yet 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.

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

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

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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

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

³⁸ You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

²⁷ He also gave him authority to execute judgement, because he is a son of man.

²⁸ Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

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

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

²⁹ And shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

³⁰ I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

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

³⁷ And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

²⁸ Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God’s Son.

²⁹ And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom.

²⁹ And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life or shall come forth into rising again of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. (And they who have done good, shall be resurrected for life; but they who have done evil, shall be resurrected for judgement or for condemnation.)

³⁰ I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem, or I may not of myself do anything, but as I hear, I judge, and my doom is just (or and my judgement is just and fair), for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.

³¹ If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true; (If I testify about myself, my testimony is not accepted as true;)

³² another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me. (but there is another who testifieth about me, and I know that his testimony is true, what he testifieth about me.)

³³ Ye senten to Joon, and he bar witnessyng to treuthe.

³⁴ But Y take not witnessyng of man; but Y seie these thingis, that ye be saaf.

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

²⁹ and 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;

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