John:5:16-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus ,
and sought to slay him ,
because he had done these things on the sabbath day .
*
But Jesus answered them ,
My Father worketh hitherto ,
and I work .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For as the Father raiseth up the dead ,
and quickeneth them ;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will .
*
For the Father judgeth no man ,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For as the Father hath life in himself ;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself ;
*
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also ,
because he is the Son of man .
*
Marvel not at this :
for the hour is coming ,
in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
