5 ¹⁹ To this charge Jesus replied, 'In truth, in very truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing: what the Father does, the Son does. 5 ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all his works, and will show greater yet, to fill you with wonder. 5 ²¹ As the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to men, as he determines. 5 ²² And again, the Father does not judge anyone, but has given full jurisdiction to the Son; 5 ²³ it is his will that all should pay the same honour to the Son as to the Father. To deny honour to the Son is to deny it to the Father who sent him.

5 ²⁴ 'In very truth, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me has hold of eternal life, and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life. 5 ²⁵ In truth, in very truth I tell you, a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and all who hear shall come to life. 5 ²⁶ For as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has the Son, by the Father's gift.

5 ²⁷ 'As Son of Man, he has also been given the right to pass judgement. 5 ²⁸ Do not wonder at this, because the time is coming when all who are in the grave shall hear his voice and come out: 5 ²⁹ those who have done right will rise to life; those who have done wrong will rise to hear their doom.
