John 5:14-31 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. Afterward יהושע found him in the Set-apart Place, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, so that no worse matter befalls you.”

15. The man went away, and told the Yehuḏim that it was יהושע who made him well.

16. And because of this the Yehuḏim persecuted יהושע, and were seeking to kill Him, because He was doing these healings on the Sabbath.

17. But יהושע answered them, “My Father works until now, and I work.”

18. Because of this, then, the Yehuḏim were seeking all the more to kill Him, ‘because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called Elohim His own Father, making Himself equal with Elohim.’

19. Therefore יהושע responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does.

20. “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel.

21. “For as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son makes alive whom He wishes.

22. “For the Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son,

23. that all should value the Son even as they value the Father. He who does not value the Son does not value the Father who sent Him.

24. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me possesses everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

25. “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Elohim. And those having heard shall live.

26. “For as the Father possesses life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to possess life in Himself,

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

28. “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the tombs shall hear His voice,

29. and shall come forth – those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil matters, to a resurrection of judgment.

30. “Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.

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