And the Father Himself,
who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time,
nor seen His form. But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He
sent, Him you do not believe.
You search the
Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they
which testify of Me.
But you are not willing
to come to Me that you may have life.
But Jesus answered them,
“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” 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.
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. 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. For
as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives
life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all
judgment to the Son, 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.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
For as the Father has
life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has
given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do
not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves
will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the
resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation. 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.
And
truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are
not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His
name.
