John 5:25-47

New Revised Standard NRS

25 "Very truly, I tell you, the 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 just 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 be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

29 and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

30 "I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

31 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.

32 There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true.

33 You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.

34 Not that I accept such human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36 But I have a testimony greater than John's. The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.

37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form,

38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent.

39 "You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that testify on my behalf.

40 Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

41 I do not accept glory from human beings.

42 But I know that you do not have the love of God in you.

43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him.

44 How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

47 But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?"

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.

27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

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 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 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.

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.

38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.

46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”
