John 5:17-30 (KJV)
[17] But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work.
[18] Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because he not only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God.
[19] Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can
do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do: for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
[20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth
him all things that himself doeth: and he will
shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.
[21] For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and
quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth
whom he will.
[22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath
committed all judgment unto the Son:
[23] That all men should honour the Son, even
as they honour the Father. He that honoureth
not the Son honoureth not the Father which
hath sent him.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth my word, and believeth on him that
sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life.
[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour
is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God: and they
that hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him authority to execute
judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28] Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that have done
good, unto the resurrection of life; and they
that have done evil, unto the resurrection
of damnation.
[30] I can of mine own self do nothing: as I
hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will, but the
will of the Father which hath sent me.
