25 I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it's here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!26 Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.27 The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.28 Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice29 and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.30 I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.31 If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;32 but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.33 You asked John about me, and he told the truth,34 but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.35 John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.36 But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,37 and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,38 and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.
