Lesson 17: John 5:19-29
John 5:19-29
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. For the Father loveth the Son, and
sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works that
these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 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. 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. 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. For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority
to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
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.
