The King James Version Bible

John 5:25-36

  1. 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.

  2. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

  3. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

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

  5. 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.

  6. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

  7. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

  8. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

  9. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

  10. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

  11. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

  12. But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
