John 5:22-30

22 ^acFor the Father judges no one, but ^adhas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they ^aehonor the Father. ^afWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^agwhoever hears my word and ^ahbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He ^aidoes not come into judgment, but ^ajhas passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^akan hour is coming, and is now here, when ^althe dead will hear ^amthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ^anwill live. 26 ^aoFor as the Father has life in himself, ^apso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he ^aqhas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for ^aran hour is coming when ^asall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, ^atthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
