^43 (A)He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

³⁶ do you say of Him ^(A)whom the Father sanctified and ^(B)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ ^(C)because I said, ‘I am ^(D)the Son of God’?

⁷ The Jews answered him, ^(A)“We have a law, and according to ^[a]our law He ought to die, because ^(B)He made Himself the Son of God.”

^30 (A)I and My Father are one.”

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.

^16 (A)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten ^(B)Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ^17 (C)For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

⁴⁰ and saying, ^(A)“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! ^(B)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

¹⁰ “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
