Two Resurrections

25 Truly, truly, I say to you, [a](A)a time is coming and [b]even now has arrived, when (B)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who (C)hear will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He (D)gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; 27 and He gave Him authority to (E)execute judgment, because He is [c]the Son of Man. 28 Do not be amazed at this; for [d](F)a time is coming when (G)all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come out: (H)those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

30 (I)I can do nothing [e]on My own. As I hear, I judge; and (J)My judgment is [f]righteous, because I do not seek My own will but (K)the will of Him who sent Me.

31 (L)If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not [g]true. 32 There is (M)another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(A) when the dead will hear(B) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(C) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(D) because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(E) 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.(F) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(G) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(H) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(I)
