16 And this was why the Jews were ⁿpersecuting Jesus, ^obecause 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 were ^pseeking all the more ^qto kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, ^rmaking himself ^sequal with God.

19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^tthe Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For ^uwhatever the Father¹ does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For ^vthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And ^wgreater works than these will he show him, so that you may ^xmarvel. 21 For as the Father ^yraises the dead and ^zgives them life, so also the Son ^agives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but ^bhas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may ^chonor the Son, just as they honor the Father. ^dWhoever 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 ^ebelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has ^fpassed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^gan hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will ^hhear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, ⁱso he has granted the Son also to have life ^jin himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, ^kbecause he is the Son of Man. 28 ^lDo not marvel at this, for an hour is coming ^mwhen all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, ⁿthose who have done good to the resurrection of ^olife, 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 ^pmy judgment is just, because I seek ^qnot my own will but ^rthe will of him who sent me. 31 If I ^salone ^tbear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You ^usent to John, and he has ^vborne witness to the ^wtruth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may ^xbe saved. 35 He was a burning and ^yshining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me ^zto accomplish, the very works that I am doing, ^abear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself ^bborne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, ^chis form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word ^dabiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has ^esent. 39 You ^fsearch the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that ^gbear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to ^hcome to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God ⁱwithin you. 43 I have come ^jin my Father’s name, and you ^kdo not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive ^lglory from one another and do not ^mseek the ⁿglory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, ^oon whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for ^phe wrote of me. 47 But ^qif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
