John 5:21-31

21 For as the Father ^araises the dead and ^bgives them life, so ^calso the Son gives life ^dto whom he will. 22 ^eFor the Father judges no one, but ^fhas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they ^ghonor the Father. ^hWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ⁱwhoever hears my word and ^jbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He ^kdoes not come into judgment, but ^lhas passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^man hour is coming, and is now here, when ⁿthe dead will hear ^othe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ^pwill live. 26 ^qFor as the Father has life in himself, ^rso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he ^shas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for ^tan hour is coming when ^uall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, ^vthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
