Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus responded and was saying to them—

Jesus Responds Regarding His Work: The Son Does Only What The Father Does

“Truly, truly, I say to you— the Son can do nothing from Himself except^[a] something He sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One is doing, these things the Son is also likewise doing. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing. And He will show Him greater works than these, in order that you may marvel.

The Son Raises And Judges The Dead, And Thus Is Due Equal Honor With God

²¹ “For^[b] just as the Father raises the dead and gives-life-to them, so also the Son gives-life-to the ones whom He wishes^[c]. ²² For the Father does not even judge anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ in order that all may honor the Son just-as^[d] they are honoring the Father. The one not honoring the Son is not honoring the Father having sent Him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me has eternal life. And he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

The Son Has Life In Himself And Gives Life To The Spiritually Dead

²⁵ “Truly, truly, I say to you that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones having heard will live. ²⁶ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He gave to the Son to have life in Himself. ²⁷ And He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a son^[e] of man.

The Son Will Give Life To The Physically Dead

²⁸ Do not be marveling-at this, because an hour is coming in which all the ones in the graves will hear His voice, ²⁹ and will come out— the ones having done the good things to a resurrection of life; the ones having practiced the bad things to a resurrection of judgment.
