John 5:17-44

John 5:17-44

[17] But  Jesus  answered  them,  Father  worketh  hitherto,  and I  work.  [18] Therefore  the Jews  sought  the more  to kill  him,  because  not  only  had broken  the sabbath,  but  also  that God  was his  Father,  making  himself  equal  with God.  [19] Then  answered  Jesus  and  said  unto them,  Verily,  I say  The Son  can  do  nothing  of  himself,  what  he seeth  the Father  do:  for  what things soever  he  doeth,  also  doeth  the Son  likewise.  [20] For  the Father  loveth  the Son,  and  sheweth  him  all things  that  himself  doeth:  and  he will shew  him  works  that  may marvel.  [21] For  as  the Father  raiseth up  the dead,  and  quickeneth  them; even  so  the Son  quickeneth  whom  he will.  [22] For  the Father  judgeth  no man,  but  hath committed  all  judgment  unto the Son:  [23] 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.  [24] Verily,  I say  He that heareth  word,  and  believeth  on him that sent  hath  everlasting  life,  and  not  come  into  condemnation;  but  is passed  from  death  unto  life.  [25] Verily,  I say  The hour  is coming,  and  now  when  the dead  shall hear  the voice  of the Son  of God:  and  they that hear  shall live.  [26] For  as  the Father  hath  life  in  himself;  so  hath he given  to the Son  to have  life  in  himself;  [27] And  hath given  him  authority  to execute  judgment  also,  because  the Son  of man.  [28] Marvel  not  for  the hour  is coming,  in  the which  all  that are in  the graves  shall hear  his  voice,  [29] 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.  [30] can  of  mine own self  do  nothing:  as  I hear,  I judge:  and  my  judgment  just;  because  I seek  not  mine own  will,  but  the will  which hath sent  [31] If  bear witness  of  myself,  witness  not  true.  [32] another  that beareth witness  of  and  I know  that  the witness  which  he witnesseth  of  true.  [33] sent  unto  John,  and  he bare witness  unto the truth.  [34] But  receive  not  testimony  from  man:  but  I say,  that  might be saved.  [35] He  a burning  and  a shining  light:  and  were willing  for  a season  to rejoice  in  his  light.  [36] But  have  witness  than that of John:  for  the works  which  the Father  hath given  to  finish,  the same  works  that  do,  bear witness  of  that  the Father  hath sent  [37] And  the Father  himself,  which hath sent  hath borne witness  of  neither  heard  his  voice  at any time,  nor  seen  his  shape.  [38] And  ye have  not  his  word  abiding  in  for  whom  he hath sent,  believe  not.  [39] Search  the scriptures;  for  in  them  think  ye have  eternal  life:  and  they  which testify  of  [40] And  ye will  not  come  to  that  ye might have  life.  [41] I receive  not  honour  from  men.  [42] But  I know  that  ye have  not  the love  of God  in  you.  [43] I am  come  in  Father's  name,  and  ye receive  not:  if  another  shall come  in  his own  name,  him  ye will receive.  [44] How  can  believe,  which receive  honour  one of another,  and  seek  not  the honour  that cometh from  God  only?
