22. For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23. in order that all people will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
24. Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25. “Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming—and now is here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.
26. For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.
27. And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28. “Do not be astonished at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice
29. and they will come out—those who have done good things to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment.
30. I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
31. “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
32. There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33. You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
34. (And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.)
35. That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36. “But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37. And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.
38. And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.
39. You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.
