John 5:17-29
New King James Version
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.

John 5:17-29
King James Version
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
