John 5:20-38 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

20. For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

21. For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens them, thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

22. for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

23. that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

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

27. and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is Son of man.

28. Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29. and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

30. I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

31. If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

32. It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

33. Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34. But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

35. He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36. But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

37. And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

38. and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.
