Joh 5:19-47 | ESV | STEP | So Jesus said to them , Truly , truly , I say to you , the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing . For whatever the Father does , that the Son does likewise .

19 So 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. 20 For ^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. 21 For 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, 23 that 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. 24 Truly, 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.

25 “Truly, 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. 27 And he ^yhas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for ^zan hour is coming when ^aaall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, ^abthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 ^ac“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and ^admy judgment is just, because ^aeI seek not my own will ^afbut the will of him who sent me. 31 ^agIf I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is ^ahanother who bears witness about me, and ^aiI know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 ^ajYou sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that ^akthe testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and ^alshining lamp, and ^amyou were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But ^anthe testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For ^aothe works that the Father has given me ^apto accomplish, the very works that I am doing, ^aqbear witness about me that ^arthe Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me ^ashas himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, ^athis form you have never seen, 38 and ^auyou do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 ^avYou search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and ^awit is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet ^axyou refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 ^ayI do not receive glory from people. 42 But ^azI know that you do not have ^bathe love of God within you. 43 I have come ^bbin my Father’s name, and ^bcyou do not receive me. ^bdIf another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and ^bedo not seek the glory that comes from ^bfthe only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, ^bgon whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for ^bhhe wrote of me. 47 But ^biif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
