    22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

    23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

    24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

    25 Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.

    26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

    27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

    28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

    29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

    30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
