John 5:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ I tell you the truth, the time is coming and is already here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will have life. ²⁶ Life comes from the Father himself, and he has allowed the Son to have life in himself as well. ²⁷ And the Father has given the Son the approval to judge, because he is the Son of Man.
