* And because of this , the Jews persecuted Jesus and lusted to kill Him , because He did these things on a sabbath . * But Jesus answered them , My Father works until now , and I work . * Because of this , therefore , the Jews lusted the more to kill Him , for not only did He break the sabbath , but also called God His own Father , making Himself equal to God . * Then Jesus answered and said to them , Truly , truly , I say to you , the Son is not able to do anything from Himself , except what He may see the Father doing ; for whatever that One does , these things also the Son does the same way . * For the Father loves the Son and shows to Him all things which He does . And He will show Him greater works than these in order that you may marvel . * For even as the Father raises the dead , and gives life , so also the Son gives life to whomever He wills . * For the Father judges no one , but has given all judgment to the Son , * so that all may honor the Son , even as they honor the Father . The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him . * Truly , truly , I say to you , the one who hears My word , and believes the One who has sent Me , has everlasting life , and does not come into judgment , but has passed out of death into life . * Truly , truly , I say to you that an hour is coming , and now is , when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God , and the ones hearing will live . * For even as the Father has life in Himself , so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself . * And He also gave authority to Him to execute judgment , for He is the Son of man . * Do not marvel at this , for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice . * And they will come out , the ones having done good into a resurrection of life ; and the ones having practiced evil into a resurrection of judgment . * I am able to do nothing from Myself ; just as I hear , I judge ; and My judgment is just , for I do not seek My will , but the will of the One sending Me , the Father .
