John 5:26-34 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

26. For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted to the Son to have life in Himself.

27. And He has granted Him the right to pass judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28. Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice

29. and come out — those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of judgment.

30. “I can do nothing on My own. I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

31. “If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32. There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.

33. You have sent messengers to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34. I don’t receive man’s testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
