John 5:16
Compare all
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. aSin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”  
15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Honor the Father and the Son

16 For this reason the Jews apersecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.  
17 But Jesus answered them, a“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”  
18 Therefore the Jews asought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, bmaking Himself equal with God.  
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, athe Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.  
20 For athe Father loves the Son, and bshows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.  
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, aeven so the Son gives life to whom He will.  
22 For the Father judges no one, but ahas committed all judgment to the Son,  
23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. aHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.  

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, ahe who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, bbut has passed from death into life.  
25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when athe dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
