19. So Jesus answered them, “I am telling you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.
20. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed.
21. Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to.
22. Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge,
23. so that all will honour the Son in the same way as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.
24. “I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life.
25. I am telling you the truth: the time is coming — the time has already come — when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life.
26. Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life.
27. And he has given the Son the right to judge, because he is the Son of Man.
28. Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice
29. and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned.
30. “I can do nothing on my own authority; I judge only as God tells me, so my judgement is right, because I am not trying to do what I want, but only what he who sent me wants.
31. “If I testify on my own behalf, what I say is not to be accepted as real proof.
32. But there is someone else who testifies on my behalf, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33. John is the one to whom you sent your messengers, and he spoke on behalf of the truth.
34. It is not that I must have a human witness; I say this only in order that you may be saved.
35. John was like a lamp, burning and shining, and you were willing for a while to enjoy his light.
36. But I have a witness on my behalf which is even greater than the witness that John gave: what I do, that is, the deeds my Father gave me to do, these speak on my behalf and show that the Father has sent me.
37. And the Father, who sent me, also testifies on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his face,
38. and you do not keep his message in your hearts, for you do not believe in the one whom he sent.
39. You study the Scriptures, because you think that in them you will find eternal life. And these very Scriptures speak about me!
