    17So he told them,“My Father is working until now, and I too am working.”

    18For this reason the Jewish leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.

    19So Jesus answered them,“I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

    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.

    21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

    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.
