For whatever the Father does, the Son also does in the same way.' 20 'For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He does. And He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.' 21 'Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever He wills.' 22 'For the Father judges no one, but He has entrusted all judgment to the Son.' 23 'So that everyone may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.' 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the 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. 26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son also to have life in Himself. 27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not be amazed at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice. 29 And they will come out: those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. 30 I can do nothing on My own. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just because I do not seek My own will but the will of Him who sent Me. 31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid. 32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is true. 33 You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth. 34 But I do not accept testimony from a man; rather, I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 John was a lamp that burned and shone, and for a time, you were willing to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have testimony greater than John's: the works the Father has given Me to complete, the very works I am doing, testify about Me that the Father has sent Me. 37 The Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have never heard His voice or seen His form. 38 Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe the one He sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; yet it is they that testify about me. 40 But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life. 41 I do not accept glory from people. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. But if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
