²⁵ Jesus answered, “I did tell you,^(A) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,^(B)

³⁸ But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”^(A)

⁵⁸ “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,^(A) I am!”^(B)

¹¹ Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.^(A)

¹⁷ In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father^(A) is always at his work^(B) to this very day, and I too am working.” ¹⁸ For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;^(C) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.^(D)

¹⁹ Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;^(E) 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^(F) and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,^(G) so that you will be amazed. ²¹ For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,^(H) even so the Son gives life^(I) to whom he is pleased to give it. ²² Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,^{(J) 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.^(K)

²⁴ “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me^(L) has eternal life^(M) and will not be judged^(N) but has crossed over from death to life.^{(O) 25} Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come^(P) when the dead will hear^(Q) 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^(R) in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to judge^(S) because he is the Son of Man.

²⁸ “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming^(T) 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.^{(U) 30} By myself I can do nothing;^(V) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,^(W) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.^(X)

Testimonies About Jesus

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.^{(Y) 32} There is another who testifies in my favor,^(Z) and I know that his testimony about me is true.

³³ “You have sent to John and he has testified^(AA) to the truth. ³⁴ Not that I accept human testimony;^(AB) but I mention it that you may be saved.^{(AC) 35} John was a lamp that burned and gave light,^(AD) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

³⁶ “I have testimony weightier than that of John.^(AE) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing^(AF)—testify that the Father has sent me.^{(AG) 37} And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.^(AH) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,^{(AI) 38} nor does his word dwell in you,^(AJ) for you do not believe^(AK) the one he sent.^{(AL) 39} You study^[a] the Scriptures^(AM) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.^(AN) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,^{(AO) 40} yet you refuse to come to me^(AP) to have life.

⁴¹ “I do not accept glory from human beings,^{(AQ) 42} but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. ⁴³ I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

³ how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?^(A) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,^(B) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.^(C)

³⁸ how God anointed^(A) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing^(B) all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.^(C)

The Purpose of John’s Gospel

³⁰ Jesus performed many other signs^(A) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.^(B)

Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews

³⁷ Even after Jesus had performed so many signs^(A) in their presence, they still would not believe in him.
