Daniel 7:13-14

English Standard Version

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

¹³“I saw in the night visions,

and ^(A)behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the ^(B)Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.
¹⁴^(C)And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all ^(D)peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
^(E)his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.

John 5:18-30

English Standard Version

Jesus Is Equal with God

¹⁸This was why the Jews ^(A)were seeking all the more to kill him, ^(B)because not only was he ^(C)breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God ^(D)his own Father, ^(E)making himself equal with God.

The Authority of the Son

¹⁹So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(F)the Son ^(G)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. ²⁰For ^(H)the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And ^(I)greater works than these will he show him, so that ^(J)you may marvel. ²¹For as the Father ^(K)raises the dead and ^(L)gives them life, so ^(M)also the Son gives life ^(N)to whom he will. ²²^(O)For the Father judges no one, but ^(P)has given all judgment to the Son, ²³that all may honor the Son, just as they ^(Q)honor the Father. ^(R)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(S)whoever hears my word and ^(T)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He ^(U)does not come into judgment, but ^(V)has passed from death to life.

²⁵“Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(W)an hour is coming, and is now here, when ^(X)the dead will hear ^(Y)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ^(Z)will live. ²⁶^(AA)For as the Father has life in himself, ^(AB)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷And he ^(AC)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. ²⁸Do not marvel at this, for ^(AD)an hour is coming when ^(AE)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice ²⁹and come out, ^(AF)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^(AG)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and ^(AH)my judgment is just, because ^(AI)I seek not my own will ^(AJ)but the will of him who sent me.
