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.

25 “And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. 26 The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son. 27 And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.[a] 28 Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son, 29 and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.
