The Authority of the Son

¹⁹So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ethe Son fcan do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father5 does, that the Son does likewise. ²⁰For gthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And hgreater works than these will he show him, so that iyou may marvel. ²¹For as the Father jraises the dead and kgives them life, so lalso the Son gives life mto whom he will. ²²nFor the Father judges no one, but ohas given all judgment to the Son, ²³that all may honor the Son, just as they phonor the Father. qWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, rwhoever hears my word and sbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He tdoes not come into judgment, but uhas passed from death to life.

²⁵“Truly, truly, I say to you, van hour is coming, and is now here, when wthe dead will hear xthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear wwill live. ²⁶yFor as the Father has life in himself, zso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷And he ahas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. ²⁸Do not marvel at this, for van hour is coming when ball who are in the tombs will hear his voice ²⁹and come out, cthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
