John 5:24-29

The Authority of the Son

24 Truly, truly, I say to you, r whoever hears my word and s believes him who sent me has eternal life. He t does not come into judgment, but u has passed from death to life.

25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, v an hour is coming, and is now here, when w the dead will hear x the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear w will live. 26 y For as the Father has life in himself, z so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he a has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for v an hour is coming when b all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, c those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
