25 Amen, amen dico vobis, quia venit hora, et nunc est, quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei: et qui audierint, vivent.

26 Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetipso, sic dedit et Filio habere vitam in semetipso:

27 et potestatem dedit ei judicium facere, quia Filius hominis est.

28 Nolite mirari hoc, quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem Filii Dei:

29 et procedent qui bona fecerunt, in resurrectionem vitae; qui vero mala egerunt, in resurrectionem judicii.

30 Non possum ego a meipso facere quidquam. Sicut audio, judico: et judicium meum justum est, quia non quaero voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.

31 Si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, testimonium meum non est verum.

32 Alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me: et scio quia verum est testimonium, quod perhibet de me.

33 Vos misistis ad Joannem, et testimonium perhibuit veritati.

34 Ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio: sed haec dico ut vos salvi sitis.

35 Ille erat lucerna ardens et lucens: vos autem voluistis ad horam exsultare in luce ejus.

36 Ego autem habeo testimonium majus Joanne. Opera enim quae dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea: ipsa opera, quae ego facio, testimonium perhibent de me, quia Pater misit me:

37 et qui misit me Pater, ipse testimonium perhibuit de me: neque vocem ejus umquam audistis, neque speciem ejus vidistis:

38 et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens: quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis.

39 Scrutamini Scripturas, quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam aeternam habere: et illae sunt quae testimonium perhibent de me:

40 et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis.

41 Claritatem ab hominibus non accipio.

42 Sed cognovi vos, quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis.

43 Ego veni in nomine Patris mei, et non accipitis me; si alius venerit in nomine suo, illum accipietis.

44 Quomodo vos potestis credere, qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis, et gloriam quae a solo Deo est, non quaeritis?

45 Nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem: est qui accusat vos Moyses, in quo vos speratis.

46 Si enim crederetis Moysi, crederetis forsitan et mihi: de me enim ille scripsit.

47 Si autem illius litteris non creditis, quomodo verbis meis credetis?

25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(A) when the dead will hear(B) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(C) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(D) because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(E) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(F) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(G) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(H) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(I)

Testimonies About Jesus

31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.(J) 32 There is another who testifies in my favor,(K) and I know that his testimony about me is true.

33 “You have sent to John and he has testified(L) to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony;(M) but I mention it that you may be saved.(N) 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light,(O) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(P) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(Q)—testify that the Father has sent me.(R) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(S) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(T) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(U) for you do not believe(V) the one he sent.(W) 39 You study[a] the Scriptures(X) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(Y) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(Z) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(AA) to have life.

41 “I do not accept glory from human beings,(AB) 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God[b]?(AC)

45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(AD) on whom your hopes are set.(AE) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(AF) 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”(AG)
