John 5:14-24
New Living Translation
14 But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.” 15 Then the man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Jesus Claims to Be the Son of God
16 So the Jewish leaders began harassing[a] Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules. 17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” 18 So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
19 So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished. 21 For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants. 22 In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, 23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.
24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

John 5:14-24
New International Version
John 5:14-24
New International Version
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning(A) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders(B) that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The Authority of the Son
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(C) is always at his work(D) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(E) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(F)
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;(G) he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son(H) and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,(I) so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(J) even so the Son gives life(K) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(L) 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.(M)
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(N) has eternal life(O) and will not be judged(P) but has crossed over from death to life.(Q)
