    22Furthermore, the Father does not judge anyone, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

    23so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

    24“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

    25I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming– and is now here– when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

    26For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

    27and he has granted the Son authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

    28“Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

    29and will come out– the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.

    30I can do nothing on my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

    20For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.
