John 5:26-34 New English Translation (NET)

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

27. and he has granted the Son authority to execute 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 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.

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

34. (I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)
