John 5

21 For as the Father *[Deut. 32:39;2 Cor. 1:9] raises the dead and *Rom. 4:17;8:11gives them life, so *[ch. 6:33;11:25]; See 1 Cor. 15:45also the Son gives life *[Rom. 9:18]to whom he will.22 *[Acts 17:31] For the Father judges no one, but *ver. 27;ch. 9:39;Acts 10:42;[ch. 3:17]; See ch. 17:2has given all judgment to the Son,23 that all may honor the Son, just as they *ch. 8:49honor the Father. *Luke 10:16;[ch. 15:23;1 John 2:23]Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.24 Truly, truly, I say to you, *[ch. 8:51] whoever hears my word and *ch. 20:31;1 John 5:9-13;[ch. 3:15, 36;12:44] believes him who sent me has eternal life. He *ch. 3:18;[ver. 29] does not come into judgment, but *1 John 3:14has passed from death to life.

25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, *See ch. 4:21,23an hour is coming, and is now here, when *See Eph. 2:1,5the dead will hear *[ch. 11:43]the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear *See Eph. 2:1,5will live.26 *[ch. 6:57] For as the Father has life in himself, *See ch. 1:4;17:2so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.27 And he *ver. 22has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.28 Do not marvel at this, for *[See ver. 25above] an hour is coming when *ch. 11:24;1 Cor. 15:52;[ch. 11:44, 45]all who are in the tombs will hear his voice29 and come out, *See Dan. 12:2those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

Witnesses to Jesus

30 *ver. 19;ch. 8:28;14:10"I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and *ch. 8:16my judgment is just, because *ch. 4:34;6:38;[ch. 7:18;Rom. 15:3] I seek not my own will *See Matt. 26:39but the will of him who sent me.31 *[ch. 8:13,14,18,54;18:21]If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.
