Jesus therefore, answered and said to them: Verily, verily, I say
to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father
do; for what things soever he does, these also does the Son in like
manner. (20)For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things
that he himself does; and greater works than these will he show him,
that ye may marvel. (21)For as the Father raises up the dead, and
quickens them; so also the Son quickens whom he will. (22)For neither
does the Father judge any one; but all judgment he has given to the
Son; (23)that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that
honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.
(24)Verily, verily, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes
him who sent me, has everlasting life, and comes not into judgment,
but has passed out of death into life. (25)Verily, verily, I say to
you, an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice
of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. (26)For as the
Father has life in himself, so he gave also to the Son to have life in
himself. (27)And he gave him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is a son of man. (28)Marvel not at this; for an hour is
coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29)and shall come forth; they that did good, to the resurrection of
life, and they that did evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
(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 who sent me.
(31)If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (32)There is
another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he
witnesses of me is true. (33)Ye have sent to John, and he has borne
witness to the truth. (34)But I receive the witness not from man; but
these things I say, 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 greater witness than that of John; for the works
which the Father gave me to finish, the works themselves that I do
bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. (37)And the Father,
who sent me, he has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his
voice at any time, nor have ye seen his shape. (38)And ye have not his
word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
(39)Search[5:39] the Scriptures; because in them ye think ye have
eternal life,
