John 5:28
Compare all
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.
