John 5:19-30 GNB So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does. (20) For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed. (21) Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to. (22) Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge, (23) so that all will honor the Son in the same way as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. (24) "I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life. (25) I am telling you the truth: the time is coming---the time has already come---when the (physically living but spiritually) dead (John 5:24; 1 John 3:13‑14) will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life. (26) Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life. (27) And he has given the Son the right to judge, because he is the Son of Man. (28) Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice (29) and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned. (30) "I can do nothing on my own authority; I judge only as God tells me, so my judgment is right, because I am not trying to do what I want, but only what he who sent me wants.
John 5:19-30 ESV So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. (20) For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. (21) For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. (22) The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, (23) that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever 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 him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (25) "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the (physically living but spiritually) dead (John 5:24; 1 John 3:13‑14) 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 granted the Son also to have life in himself. (27) And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. (28) Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs 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 on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 5:19-30 CEV Jesus told the people: I tell you for certain that the Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing, and he does exactly what he sees the Father do. (20) The Father loves the Son and has shown him everything he does. The Father will show him even greater things, and you will be amazed. (21) Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants to. (22) The Father doesn't judge anyone, but he has made his Son the judge of everyone. (23) The Father wants all people to honor the Son as much as they honor him. When anyone refuses to honor the Son, that is the same as refusing to honor the Father who sent him. (24) I tell you for certain that everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned. They have already gone from death to life. (25) I tell you for certain that the time will come, and it is already here, when all of the (physically living but spiritually) dead (John 5:24; 1 John 3:13‑14) will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen to it will live! (26) The Father has the power to give life, and he has given that same power to the Son. (27) And he has given his Son the right to judge everyone, because he is the Son of Man. (28) Don't be surprised! The time will come when all of the (physically) dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man, (29) and they will come out of their graves. Everyone who has done good things will rise to life, but everyone who has done evil things will rise and be condemned. (30) I cannot do anything on my own. The Father sent me, and he is the one who told me how to judge. I judge with fairness, because I obey him, and I don't just try to please myself.
