³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^(A)“This is ^[a]My beloved Son. ^(B)Hear Him!”

^17 (A)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ^(B)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

^18 (A)I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and ^(B)will put My words in His mouth, ^(C)and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. ^19 (D)And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.

⁹ And ^(A)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

¹⁵ while it is said:

²² For Moses truly said to the fathers, ^(A)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. ²³ And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

²² For the Father judges no one, but ^(A)has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^(B)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, ^(C)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, ^(D)but has passed from death into life.

²² And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am ^(A)well pleased.”

The Servant of the Lord
