20 For (A)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And (B)greater works than these will he show him, so that (C)you may marvel. 21 For as the Father (D)raises the dead and (E)gives them life, so (F)also the Son gives life (G)to whom he will. 22 (H)For the Father judges no one, but (I)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (J)honor the Father. (K)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (L)whoever hears my word and (M)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (N)does not come into judgment, but (O)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (P)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (Q)the dead will hear (R)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (S)will live. 26 (T)For as the Father has life in himself, (U)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (V)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (W)an hour is coming when (X)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (Y)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

English Standard Version
The Year of the Lord's Favor
61 (A)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has (B)anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;[a]
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and (C)the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b]
2 (D)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
(E)and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
(F)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
(G)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
(H)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, (I)that he may be glorified.[c]
4 (J)They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.

3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, (A)in whom I will be glorified.”[a]
4 (B)But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”
5 (C)And now the Lord says,
he (D)who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for (E)I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
(F)I will make you (G)as a light for the nations,
that (H)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
