For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: (5:22) 10

That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him (5:23)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life (5:24)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live (5:25)

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; (5:26) com2

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man (5:27)

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (5:28)

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (5:29)

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (5:30) 18 com3

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true (5:31)

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true (5:32)

Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth (5:33)

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved (5:34)

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light (5:35)

But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me (5:36)

And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. (5:37) com4

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. (5:38)

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (5:39) com6

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (5:40)

I receive not honour from men (5:41)

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you (5:42)

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. (5:43) com8

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only? (5:44)

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust. (5:45) com10

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. (5:46) com11

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (5:47)
