²⁵ Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. ^(A)The works that I do in My Father’s name, they ^(B)bear witness of Me.

³⁸ but if I do, though you do not believe Me, ^(A)believe the works, that you may know and ^[a]believe ^(B)that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)before Abraham was, ^(B)I AM.”

¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, ^(A)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, ^(A)“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews ^(B)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ^(C)making Himself equal with God. ¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(D)the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. ²⁰ For ^(E)the Father loves the Son, and ^(F)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, ^(G)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but ^(H)has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^(I)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, ^(J)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, ^(K)but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^(L)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For ^(M)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have ^(N)life in Himself, ²⁷ and ^(O)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, ^(P)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 ^(Q)hear His voice ^29 (R)and come forth—^(S)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. ^30 (T)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because ^(U)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Fourfold Witness

^31 (V)“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not ^[a]true. ^32 (W)There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. ³³ You have sent to John, ^(X)and he has borne witness to the truth. ³⁴ Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. ³⁵ He was the burning and ^(Y)shining lamp, and ^(Z)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. ³⁶ But ^(AA)I have a greater witness than John’s; for ^(AB)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very ^(AC)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. ³⁷ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, ^(AD)has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, ^(AE)nor seen His form. ³⁸ But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. ^39 (AF)You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and ^(AG)these are they which testify of Me. ^40 (AH)But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

^41 (AI)“I do not receive honor from men. ⁴² But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. ⁴³ I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

^3 (A)how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, ^(B)which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was ^(C)confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

³⁸ how ^(A)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who ^(B)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, ^(C)for God was with Him.

That You May Believe

³⁰ And ^(A)truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;
