John 5:21
Compare all
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.  
26 For aas the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have blife in Himself,  
27 and ahas given Him authority to execute judgment also, bbecause 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 ahear His voice  
29 aand come forth—bthose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.  
30 aI can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because bI do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.  

The Fourfold Witness

31 a“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not1 true.  
32 aThere is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.  
33 You have sent to John, aand he has borne witness to the truth.
