Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, (A)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, (B)but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when (C)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For (D)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have (E)life in Himself, 27 and (F)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, (G)because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will (H)hear His voice 29 (I)and come forth—(J)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 (K)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because (L)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

24 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ο τον λογον μου ακουων και πιστευων τω πεμψαντι με εχει ζωην αιωνιον και εις κρισιν ουκ ερχεται αλλα μεταβεβηκεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην

25 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ερχεται ωρα και νυν εστιν οτε οι νεκροι ακουσονται της φωνης του υιου του θεου και οι ακουσαντες ζησονται

26 ωσπερ γαρ ο πατηρ εχει ζωην εν εαυτω ουτως εδωκεν και τω υιω ζωην εχειν εν εαυτω

27 και εξουσιαν εδωκεν αυτω και κρισιν ποιειν οτι υιος ανθρωπου εστιν

28 μη θαυμαζετε τουτο οτι ερχεται ωρα εν η παντες οι εν τοις μνημειοις ακουσονται της φωνης αυτου

29 και εκπορευσονται οι τα αγαθα ποιησαντες εις αναστασιν ζωης οι δε τα φαυλα πραξαντες εις αναστασιν κρισεως

30 ου δυναμαι εγω ποιειν απ εμαυτου ουδεν καθως ακουω κρινω και η κρισις η εμη δικαια εστιν οτι ου ζητω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με πατρος

24 `Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

25 `Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

26 for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

27 and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

28 `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

30 `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and (A)believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and (B)does not come into judgment, but has (C)passed out of death into life.

Two Resurrections

25 Truly, truly, I say to you, [a](D)a time is coming and [b]even now has arrived, when (E)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who (F)hear will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He (G)gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; 27 and He gave Him authority to (H)execute judgment, because He is [c]the Son of Man. 28 Do not be amazed at this; for [d](I)a time is coming when (J)all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come out: (K)those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

30 (L)I can do nothing [e]on My own. As I hear, I judge; and (M)My judgment is [f]righteous, because I do not seek My own will but (N)the will of Him who sent Me.
