John 5:25-30 ESV "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead 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 5:25-30 GNB I am telling you the truth: the time is coming---the time has already come---when the dead 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 5:25-30 LITV Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones hearing will live. (26) For even as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself. (27) And He also gave authority to Him to execute judgment, for He is the Son of Man. (28) Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice. (29) And they will come out, the ones having done good into a resurrection of life; and the ones having practiced evil into a resurrection of judgment. (30) I am able to do nothing from Myself; just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, for I do not seek My will, but the will of the One sending Me, the Father.
