Revised Version 1885

John 5:25-37 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

26. For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:

27. and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

28. Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment.

30. I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32. It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33. Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

34. But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

35. He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

36. But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37. And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
