nsb John:5:17-47
nsb@John:5:17 @ Jesus responded to them: »My Father works until now and I work.«
nsb@John:5:18 @ The Jews intensified their efforts to kill him for these reasons: he broke the Sabbath and he also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
nsb@John:5:19 @ Jesus answered them: »Truly I tell you the Son can do nothing by himself. He sees the Father do something and then he does it. Whatever the Father does the Son does in like manner.
nsb@John:5:20 @ »The Father loves the Son. He shows him all of the things he does. He will show him greater works than these. And you will marvel.
nsb@John:5:21 @ »The Father raises the dead and gives them life. The Son also gives life to those he wills.
nsb@John:5:22 @ »The Father does not judge any man for he has given all judgment to the Son.
nsb@John:5:23 @ »All may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father that sent him.
nsb@John:5:24 @ »Truly, Truly I say to you, he who hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has everlasting life. He will not receive judgment for he has passed out of death into life.
nsb@John:5:25 @ »Truly I tell you, the hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
nsb@John:5:26 @ »The Son has life in himself just as the Father has life in himself. For the Father gave him life.
nsb@John:5:27 @ »And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
nsb@John:5:28 @ »Do not wonder about this for the hour is coming when everyone in the grave will hear his voice.
nsb@John:5:29 @ »They will return. Those who did good will have the resurrection of life. Those who did evil will receive the resurrection of judgment.
nsb@John:5:30 @ »I can do nothing by myself. So I hear and judge and my judgment is righteous. I do not seek my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
nsb@John:5:31 @ »If I alone testify about myself, my testimony is not enough truth.
nsb@John:5:32 @ »There is another who testifies about me. I know that his evidence about me is true.
nsb@John:5:33 @ »You sent people to John the Baptist and he has witnessed about the truth.
nsb@John:5:34 @ »The testimony I receive is not from man. However I say these things that you may be saved.
nsb@John:5:35 @ »He was the lamp that burns and shines. You were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
nsb@John:5:36 @ »The testimony I have is greater than that of John. The works I do are the works the Father gave me to accomplish. They testify that the Father has sent me.
nsb@John:5:37 @ »The Father who sent me testifies about me. You have not heard his voice nor seen him at any time.
nsb@John:5:38 @ »You do not have his word dwelling in you. This is because you do not believe in the person he has sent.
nsb@John:5:39 @ »You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have everlasting life. These Scriptures testify about me.
nsb@John:5:40 @ »And yet you will not come to me that you may have life.
nsb@John:5:41 @ »I do not accept glory from men.
nsb@John:5:42 @ »I know that the love of God is not in you.
nsb@John:5:43 @ »I came in my Fathers name and you did not receive me. If another came in his own name you would receive him.
nsb@John:5:44 @ »How can you believe? You seek praise and glory from one another? Why do you not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
nsb@John:5:45 @ »Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Moses on whom you have set your hope is a plaintiff against you.
nsb@John:5:46 @ »It is a fact! If you believed Moses you would believe me. He wrote about me!
nsb@John:5:47 @ »If you do not believe his writings how will you believe my words?«
