John 5:23-30

5:23 so that all people ¹  will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, ²  the one who hears ³  my message ⁴  and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, ⁵  but has crossed over from death to life. 5:25 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁶  a time ⁷  is coming – and is now here – when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself, 5:27 and he has granted the Son ⁸  authority to execute judgment, ⁹  because he is the Son of Man.

5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, because a time ¹⁰  is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 5:29 and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation. ¹¹  5:30 I can do nothing on my own initiative. ¹²  Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, ¹³  because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me. ¹⁴
