5:21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
5:22
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
5:23
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
5:24
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.
5:25
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
5:26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
5:27
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
5:28
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
5:29
and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
5:30
I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
5:31
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
5:32
There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
5:33
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
5:34
Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
5:35
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
5:36
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
5:37
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
5:38
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
5:39
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
5:40
yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
5:41
I do not accept glory from men,
5:42
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
5:43
I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
5:44
How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
5:45
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
5:46
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
5:47
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
