New Testament

John 5:27-41 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. And he has given him the authority to accomplish judgment. For he is the Son of man.

28. Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God.

29. And those who have done good shall go forth to the resurrection of life. Yet truly, those who have done evil shall go to the resurrection of judgment.

30. I am not able to do anything of myself. As I hear, so do I judge. And my judgment is just. For I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

31. If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.

32. There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.

33. You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.

34. But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.

35. He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.

36. But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.

37. And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.

38. And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.

39. Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.

40. And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.

41. I do not accept glory from men.
