John 5:19–27

¹⁹Jesus therefore answered them,“Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.↗

²⁰For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.↗

²¹For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.↗

²²For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,↗

²³that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.↗

²⁴“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.↗

²⁵Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.↗

²⁶For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.↗

²⁷He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.↗
