18
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

(5.18)
“Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.”
349 Is Jesus God?

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these 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 greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For
as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

(5.21)
“As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.”
Jesus can make any dead body live just like his dad can.

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

(5.22)
“The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”
440 Does Jesus judge people?

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, 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)
“He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life.”

25 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)
“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.”

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 he is the Son of man.

(5.26-27)
“The Father … hath given him authority to execute judgment.”
440 Does Jesus judge people?

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

(5.28)
“The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice.”
167 Is death final?

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.

(5.29)
“They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
359 How are people judged by God?
304 Is Salvation by faith alone?
157 Does Hell exist?
298 Does anyone ever do anything good?
