New Testament

John 5:19-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. Jesus responded to the Jewish leaders, “I assure you that the Son can’t do anything by himself except what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

20. The Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he does. He will show him greater works than these so that you will marvel.

21. As the Father raises the dead and gives life, so too does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.

22. The Father doesn’t judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son

23. so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

24. “I assure you that whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and won’t come under judgment but has passed from death into life.

25. “I assure you that the time is coming—and is here!—when the dead will hear the voice of God’s Son, and those who hear it will live.

26. Just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.

27. He gives the Son authority to judge, because he is the Human One.
