GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New International Version NIV
19 Jesus said to the Jews, "I can guarantee this truth: The Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing. Indeed, the Son does exactly what the Father does.
19
Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
20 The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. The Father will show him even greater things to do than these things so that you will be amazed.
20
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21 In the same way that the Father brings back the dead and gives them life, the Son gives life to anyone he chooses.
21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
22 "The Father doesn't judge anyone. He has entrusted judgment entirely to the Son
22
Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
23 so that everyone will honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
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 I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life.
24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
25 "I can guarantee this truth: A time is coming (and is now here) when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who respond to it will live.
25
Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
26 The Father is the source of life, and he has enabled the Son to be the source of life too.
26
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
27 "He has also given the Son authority to pass judgment because he is the Son of Man.
27
And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 Don't be surprised at what I've just said. A time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice,
28
“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29 and they will come out of their tombs. Those who have done good will come back to life and live. But those who have done evil will come back to life and will be judged.
29
and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
30 I can't do anything on my own. As I listen [to the Father], I make my judgments. My judgments are right because I don't try to do what I want but what the one who sent me wants.
30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
