John 5:19-29

The Authority of the Son

19So Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, athe Son bcan do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father
Greek he
does, that the Son does likewise.
20For dthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And egreater works than these will he show him, so that fyou may marvel. 21For as the Father graises the dead and hgives them life, so ialso the Son gives life jto whom he will. 22 kFor the Father judges no one, but lhas given all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son, just as they mhonor the Father. nWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24Truly, truly, I say to you, owhoever hears my word and pbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He qdoes not come into judgment, but rhas passed from death to life.

25Truly, truly, I say to you, san hour is coming, and is now here, when tthe dead will hear uthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear vwill live. 26 wFor as the Father has life in himself, xso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27And he yhas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this, for zan hour is coming when aaall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and come out, abthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
