* But Jesus answered them , My Father works until now and I work . * Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him , because not only did he relax the Sabbath , but also he called God his own Father , making himself equal to God . * Jesus therefore answered and said to them , Truly , truly , I say to you , the Son can do nothing of himself , except what he sees the Father doing . For whatever he may do , the Son also does these things in like manner . * For the Father loves the Son , and shows him all things that he himself does . And he will show him works greater works than these , so that ye may marvel . * For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive , so also the Son makes alive whom he will . * For neither does the Father judge any man , but he has given all judgment to the Son , * so that all would honor the Son , even as they honor the Father . The man not honoring the Son , does not honor the Father who sent him . * Truly , truly , I say to you , that he who hears my word , and believes him who sent me , has eternal life . And he does not come into condemnation , but has passed from death into life . * Truly , truly , I say to you , that an hour comes , and now is , when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God , and those who hear will live . * For as the Father has life in himself , so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself . * And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man . * Marvel not at this , because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice , * and will come forth , those who have done right to a resurrection of life , and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment . * I can from myself do nothing . As I hear , I judge . And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will , but the will of the Father who sent me . * If I testify about myself , my witness is not valid . * There is another who testifies about me , and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid . * Ye have sent to John , and he has testified to the truth . * But I do not take the testimony from man . However , I say these things , so that ye may be saved . * That man was the lamp that burns and shines , and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light . * But I have testimony greater than of John , for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them , the same works that I do , they testify about me that the Father has sent me . * And the Father , he who sent me , has testified about me .Ye have neither heard his voice , nor have ever seen his appearance . * And ye have not his word dwelling in you , because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this . * Ye search the scriptures , because ye think to have eternal life in them , and those are testifying about me . * And ye will not come to me , so that ye may have life . * I do not receive glory from men . * But I know you , that ye have not the love of God within yourselves . * I have come in my Father 's name , and ye do not accept me . If another man should come in his own name , ye will accept that man . * How can ye believe , who receive glory from each other , and seek not the glory from the only God ? * Think not that I will accuse you to the Father . The man who accuses you is Moses , in whom ye have hoped . * For if ye believed Moses , ye would have believed me , for that man wrote about me . * But if ye believe not the writings of that man , how will ye believe my sayings ?
