John:5:16-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus ,
and sought 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 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 .
