26. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27. and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29. and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

31. “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32. There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33. You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34. Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35. He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
