John 5:20-30
New King James Version
20 For (A)the Father loves the Son, and (B)shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, (C)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but (D)has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. (E)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, (F)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, (G)but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when (H)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For (I)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have (J)life in Himself, 27 and (K)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, (L)because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will (M)hear His voice 29 (N)and come forth—(O)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 (P)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because (Q)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Good News of Salvation
61 “The (A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord (B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me (C)to [a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim (D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 (E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And (F)the day of vengeance of our God;
(G)To comfort all who mourn,
3 To [b]console those who mourn in Zion,
(H)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
(I)The planting of the Lord, (J)that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall (K)rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him,
So that Israel (D)is [c]gathered to Him

6 Indeed He says,
‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a (E)light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
