19 Jésus reprit donc la parole, et leur dit: En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le Fils ne peut rien faire de lui-même, il ne fait que ce qu’il voit faire au Père; et tout ce que le Père fait, le Fils aussi le fait pareillement. 20 Car le Père aime le Fils, et lui montre tout ce qu’il fait; et il lui montrera des œuvres plus grandes que celles-ci, afin que vous soyez dans l’étonnement. 21 Car, comme le Père ressuscite les morts et donne la vie, ainsi le Fils donne la vie à qui il veut. 22 Le Père ne juge personne, mais il a remis tout jugement au Fils, 23 afin que tous honorent le Fils comme ils honorent le Père. Celui qui n’honore pas le Fils n’honore pas le Père qui l’a envoyé. 24 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, celui qui écoute ma parole, et qui croit à celui qui m’a envoyé, a la vie éternelle et ne vient point en jugement, mais il est passé de la mort à la vie. 25 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, l’heure vient, et elle est déjà venue, où les morts entendront la voix du Fils de Dieu; et ceux qui l’auront entendue vivront. 26 Car, comme le Père a la vie en lui-même, ainsi il a donné au Fils d’avoir la vie en lui-même. 27 Et il lui a donné le pouvoir de juger, parce qu’il est Fils de l’homme. 28 Ne vous étonnez pas de cela; car l’heure vient où tous ceux qui sont dans les sépulcres entendront sa voix, et en sortiront. 29 Ceux qui auront fait le bien ressusciteront pour la vie, mais ceux qui auront fait le mal ressusciteront pour le jugement. 30 Je ne puis rien faire de moi-même: d’après ce que j’entends, je juge; et mon jugement est juste, parce que je ne cherche pas ma volonté, mais la volonté de celui qui m’a envoyé.

Témoignages confirmant celui de Jésus

31 Si c’est moi qui rends témoignage de moi-même, mon témoignage n’est pas vrai. 32 Il y en a un autre qui rend témoignage de moi, et je sais que le témoignage qu’il rend de moi est vrai. 33 Vous avez envoyé une délégation vers Jean, et il a rendu témoignage à la vérité. 34 Pour moi ce n’est pas d’un homme que je reçois le témoignage; mais je dis ceci, afin que vous soyez sauvés. 35 Jean était la lampe qui brûle et qui luit, et vous avez voulu vous réjouir une heure à sa lumière. 36 Moi, j’ai un témoignage plus grand que celui de Jean; car les œuvres que le Père m’a donné d’accomplir, ces œuvres mêmes que je fais, témoignent de moi que c’est le Père qui m’a envoyé. 37 Et le Père qui m’a envoyé a rendu lui-même témoignage de moi. Vous n’avez jamais entendu sa voix, vous n’avez point vu sa face, 38 et sa parole ne demeure point en vous, parce que vous ne croyez pas à celui qu’il a envoyé. 39 Vous sondez les Ecritures, parce que vous pensez avoir en elles la vie éternelle: ce sont elles qui rendent témoignage de moi. 40 Et vous ne voulez pas venir à moi pour avoir la vie!

41 Je ne tire pas ma gloire des hommes. 42 Mais je sais que vous n’avez point en vous l’amour de Dieu. 43 Je suis venu au nom de mon Père, et vous ne me recevez pas; si un autre vient en son propre nom, vous le recevrez. 44 Comment pouvez-vous croire, vous qui tirez votre gloire les uns des autres, et qui ne cherchez point la gloire qui vient de Dieu seul? 45 Ne pensez pas que moi je vous accuserai devant le Père; celui qui vous accuse, c’est Moïse, en qui vous avez mis votre espérance. 46 Car si vous croyiez Moïse, vous me croiriez aussi, parce qu’il a écrit à mon sujet.

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.

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

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

The Fourfold Witness

31 (S)“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [a]true. 32 (T)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, (U)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 (V)shining lamp, and (W)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But (X)I have a greater witness than John’s; for (Y)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very (Z)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, (AA)has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, (AB)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 (AC)You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and (AD)these are they which testify of Me. 40 (AE)But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

41 (AF)“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. 44 (AG)How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek (AH)the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; (AI)there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; (AJ)for he wrote about Me.

The Authority of the Son

19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (A)the Son (B)can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father[a] does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For (C)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And (D)greater works than these will he show him, so that (E)you may marvel. 21 For as the Father (F)raises the dead and (G)gives them life, so (H)also the Son gives life (I)to whom he will. 22 (J)For the Father judges no one, but (K)has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they (L)honor the Father. (M)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (N)whoever hears my word and (O)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (P)does not come into judgment, but (Q)has passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (R)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (S)the dead will hear (T)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (U)will live. 26 (V)For as the Father has life in himself, (W)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (X)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (Y)an hour is coming when (Z)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (AA)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

Witnesses to Jesus

30 (AB)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and (AC)my judgment is just, because (AD)I seek not my own will (AE)but the will of him who sent me. 31 (AF)If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is (AG)another who bears witness about me, and (AH)I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 (AI)You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that (AJ)the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and (AK)shining lamp, and (AL)you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But (AM)the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For (AN)the works that the Father has given me (AO)to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, (AP)bear witness about me that (AQ)the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me (AR)has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, (AS)his form you have never seen, 38 and (AT)you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 (AU)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and (AV)it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet (AW)you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 (AX)I do not receive glory from people. 42 But (AY)I know that you do not have (AZ)the love of God within you. 43 I have come (BA)in my Father's name, and (BB)you do not receive me. (BC)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and (BD)do not seek the glory that comes from (BE)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, (BF)on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for (BG)he wrote of me.
