John 5:22-30
English Standard Version
22 (A)For the Father judges no one, but (B)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (C)honor the Father. (D)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (E)whoever hears my word and (F)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (G)does not come into judgment, but (H)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (I)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (J)the dead will hear (K)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (L)will live. 26 (M)For as the Father has life in himself, (N)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (O)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (P)an hour is coming when (Q)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (R)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Witnesses to Jesus
30 (S)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and (T)my judgment is just, because (U)I seek not my own will (V)but the will of him who sent me.

Yochanan 5:22-30
Orthodox Jewish Bible
22 For not even HaAv judges anyone, but all Mishpat Hashem has given to HaBen [BERESHIS 18:25; SHOFETIM 11:27; DANIEL 7:10,13-14]
23 That kol Bnei Adam may honor HaBen as they honor HaAv. The one not honoring HaBen does not honor HaAv who sent him [Dan 7:13-14].
24 Omein, omein, I say to you, that the one, hearing my dvar and having emunah in the One who sent me, has Chayyei Olam and does not come into the Mishpat Hashem, but has been transferred out of mavet (death) into Chayyim (Life).
25 Omein, omein, I say to you, that a sha’ah (hour) is coming and now is, when the Mesim (dead ones) will hear the kol (voice) of the Ben HaElohim and the ones having heard will live.
26 For just as HaAv has Chayyim (Life) in himself [DEVARIM 30:20; IYOV 10:12; 33:4; TEHILLIM 36:10 (9)], so also HaBen He gave to have Chayyim (Life) in himself.
27 And samchut (authority) He gave to him to make mishpat (judgment) because he is the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14].
28 Do not marvel at this. For a sha’ah (hour, time) is coming in which all the ones in the kevarim (graves) will hear the kol of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, [YESHAYAH 26:19; YECHEZKEL 37:12]
29 And will come out, the ones having practiced HaTov to a Techiyas HaMesim of Chayyim (Life), the ones having practiced HaRah to a Techiyas HaMesim of Mishpat (Judgment). [DANIEL 12:2]
30 I am not able to do from myself anything. As I hear I judge, and mine is mishpat tzedek [YESHAYAH 28:6], because I do not seek my own ratzon (will) but the ratzon (will) of the One having sent me. [BAMIDBAR 16:28]
