John 5:24-38 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

24. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me possesses everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

25. “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Elohim. And those having heard shall live.

26. “For as the Father possesses life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to possess life in Himself,

27. and He has given Him authority also to do judgment, because He is the Son of Aḏam.

28. “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the tombs shall hear His voice,

29. and shall come forth – those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil matters, to a resurrection of judgment.

30. “Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.

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 Yoḥanan, and he bore witness to the truth.

34. “But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this in order that you might be saved.

35. “He was the burning and shining lamp, and for a while you wished to rejoice in his light.

36. “But I have a greater witness than that of Yoḥanan, for the works that the Father gave Me to accomplish, the works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

37. “And the Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

38. “And you do not have His Word staying in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
