New Testament in a Year

²⁵ `Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

²⁷ and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

³⁰ `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹ `If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

³² another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

³³ ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴ `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶ `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

³⁸ and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁹ `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

⁴⁰ and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

⁴¹ glory from man I do not receive,

⁴² but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

⁴³ `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

⁴⁴ how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

⁴⁵ `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped;

⁴⁶ for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

⁴⁷ but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
