João 5

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them,*Luke 7:14; 8:54; (John 11:25)even so the Son gives life to whom He will.22 For the Father judges no one, but *Matt. 11:27; 28:18; (John 3:35; 17:2; Acts 17:31; 1 Pet. 4:5)has committed all judgment to the Son,23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. *Luke 10:16; 1 John 2:23He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, *John 3:16, 18; 6:47he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, *(1 John 3:14)but has passed from death into life.25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when *(Eph. 2:1, 5; Col. 2:13)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.26 For *Ps. 36:9as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have *(John 1:4; 14:6); 1 Cor. 15:45life in Himself,27 and *John 9:39; (Acts 10:42; 17:31)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, *Dan. 7:13because 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 *(1 Thess. 4:15–17)hear His voice29 *Is. 26:19; (1 Cor. 15:52)and come forth—*Dan. 12:2; Matt. 25:46; Acts 24:15those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.30 *John 5:19I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because *Matt. 26:39; John 4:34; 6:38I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Fourfold Witness

31 *John 8:14; Rev. 3:14"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
