John 5

21 And just as the Father raises* 5:21 Mk 9:27; Jn 2:19the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.* 5:21 Jn 11:25–2622 The Father,* 5:22 Mt 11:27in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,23 so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.* 5:23 Jn 15:23Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.* 5:23 Lk 10:16

Life and Judgment

24 "Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life* 5:24 Jn 6:53; 12:25; Ac 13:48; 1Jn 2:25and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

25 "Truly I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here,* 5:25 Jn 4:23when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.* 5:25 Php 1:2126 For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son* 5:26 Jn 5:19; Col 1:19to have life in himself.27 And he has granted him the right to pass judgment,* 5:27 2Th 1:5because he is the Son of Man.* 5:27 Mk 2:10; Heb 2:6; Rv 1:13; 14:1428 Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice 29 and come out — those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of condemnation.

30 "I can do nothing on my own. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment* 5:30 Mt 12:41; 2Th 1:5is just,* 5:30 Mt 6:33; Jn 8:16because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.* 5:30 Mt 26:39; Jn 4:34; 6:38; 7:16–18; 8:28; 14:10; Rm 8:27; Eph 1:9
