The Authority of the Son (JHN 5:19-29)

[5:19] So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.

[5:20] For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.

[5:21] For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.

[5:22] The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

[5:23] that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

[5:24] Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

[5:25] “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

[5:26] For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.

[5:27] And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

[5:28] Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

[5:29] and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
