John 5:22-36 English Standard Version (ESV)

22. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

23. that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25. “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

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

27. And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28. Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29. and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30. “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

31. If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.

32. There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.

33. You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34. Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36. But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.
