5:17¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

5:18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

5:19Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

5:20For 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.

5:21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

5:22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

5:23That 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.

Selected passage

5:24Verily, 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.

5:25Verily, 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.

5:26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

5:27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

5:28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

5:29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

5:30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

5:31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
