16 And this was why the Jews ^xwere persecuting Jesus, ^ybecause he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

18 This was why the Jews ^zwere seeking all the more to kill him, ^abecause not only was he ^bbreaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God ^chis own Father, ^dmaking himself equal with God.

19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^ethe Son ^fcan do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father¹ does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For ^gthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And ^hgreater works than these will he show him, so that ⁱyou may marvel. 21 For as the Father ^jraises the dead and ^kgives them life, so ^lalso the Son gives life ^mto whom he will. 22 ⁿFor the Father judges no one, but ^ohas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they ^phonor the Father. ^qWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^rwhoever hears my word and ^sbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He ^tdoes not come into judgment, but ^uhas passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^van hour is coming, and is now here, when ^wthe dead will hear ^xthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ^wwill live. 26 ^yFor as the Father has life in himself, ^zso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he ^ahas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for ^van hour is coming when ^ball who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, ^cthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 ^d“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and ^emy judgment is just, because ^fI seek not my own will ^gbut the will of him who sent me.

21 ^tthat they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^uthey also may be in ^vus, so that the world ^wmay believe that you have sent me. 22 ^xThe glory that you have given me ^yI have given to them, ^tthat they may be one even as we are one, 23 ^zI in them and you in me, ^athat they may become perfectly one, ^bso that the world may know that you sent me and ^cloved them even as ^dyou loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^ewith me ^fwhere I am, ^gto see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^hbefore the foundation of the world.
