John 5:16-28
-
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
-
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
-
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.

-

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