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

28. “Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29. and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.
30. I can do nothing on my own initiative. 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 the testimony he testifies about me is true.
