New Testament

John 5:22-41 Modern English Version (MEV)

22. The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

23. that all men 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.

24. “Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.

25. Truly, truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself,

27. and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

28. “Do not marvel at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

29. and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30. I can do nothing of Myself. As I hear, I judge. My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will, but the will of the Father who sent Me.

31. “If I bear witness of Myself, My testimony is not true.

32. There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the testimony which He bears of Me is true.

33. “You sent to John, and he bore witness of the truth.

34. I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.

35. He was a burning and a shining lamp, and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36. “I have greater testimony than that of John. The works which the Father has given Me to finish, the very works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

37. The Father Himself, who has sent Me, has borne witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

38. You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe the One He has sent.

39. You search the Scriptures, because you think in them you have eternal life. These are they who bear witness of Me.

40. Yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

41. “I do not receive honor from men.
