14
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."
15
The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16
For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
17
But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."
18
Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
19
Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
20
For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
22
For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
23
that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
25
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27
and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29
and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30
I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
31
"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32
There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33
You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34
Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
