19 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do
nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever
he does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows
him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works
than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and
gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the
Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all
may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor
the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to
you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal
life; and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the
dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to
have life in himself, 27 and has given him authority to execute judgment,
because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is
coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice 29 and come
forth ñ those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those
who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
30 "I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my
judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who
sent me.
31 "If I bear witness of myself, my testimony is not true. 32
There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony
which he bears of me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne
witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony which I receive is from
man; but I say this that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and
shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a time in his light. 36
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works
which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I am
doing, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father
who sent me has himself testified of me. You have never heard his voice,
nor seen his form. 38 And you do not have his word abiding in you, for
you do not believe him whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures,
because in them you think that you have eternal life; and these are they
that testify of me. 40 Yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
41 "I do not receive glory from men. 42 But I know you, that you
do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in my Father's name,
and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you
will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another,
and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think
that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on
whom you set your hope.
