John 5:20

20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

John 5:21

21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

John 5:22

22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

John 5:23

23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

John 5:24

24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:25

25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

John 5:26

26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

John 5:27

27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

John 5:28

28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

John 5:29

29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
