25 Truly, I tell all of you[a] emphatically, the time approaches, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live. 26 Just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted the Son to have life in himself, 27 and he has given him authority to judge, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Don’t be amazed at this, because the time is approaching when everyone in their graves will hear the Son of Man’s[b] voice 29 and will come out—those who have done what is good to the resurrection that leads to[c] life, and those who have practiced what is evil to the resurrection that ends in[d] condemnation.[e]
