John.5.16-John.5.30
John.5.16
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John.5.16
But Jesus defended himself. "My Father is working straight through, even on the Sabbath. So am I."
John.5.16
So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him.
John.5.16
For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.
John.5.16
So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules.
John.5.17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
John.5.17
That really set them off. The Jews were now not only out to expose him; they were out to kill him. Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God his own Father, putting himself on a level with God.
John.5.17
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."
John.5.17
But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."
John.5.17
But Jesus replied, "My Father never stops working, so why should I?"
John.5.18
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.
John.5.18
So Jesus explained himself at length. "I'm telling you this straight. The Son can't independently do a thing, only what he sees the Father doing. What the Father does, the Son does.
John.5.18
For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John.5.18
Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
John.5.18
So the Jewish leaders tried all the more to kill him. In addition to disobeying the Sabbath rules, he had spoken of God as his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
John.5.19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John.5.19
The Father loves the Son and includes him in everything he is doing. "But you haven't seen the half of it yet,
John.5.19
Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
John.5.19
Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
John.5.19
Jesus replied, "I assure you, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
John.5.20
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
John.5.20
for in the same way that the Father raises the dead and creates life, so does the Son. The Son gives life to anyone he chooses.
John.5.20
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these.
John.5.20
For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
John.5.20
For the Father loves the Son and tells him everything he is doing, and the Son will do far greater things than healing this man. You will be astonished at what he does.
John.5.21
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
John.5.21
Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son
John.5.21
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
John.5.21
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
John.5.21
He will even raise from the dead anyone he wants to, just as the Father does.
John.5.22
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John.5.22
so that the Son will be honored equally with the Father. Anyone who dishonors the Son, dishonors the Father, for it was the Father's decision to put the Son in the place of honor.
John.5.22
Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
John.5.22
For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
John.5.22
And the Father leaves all judgment to his Son,
John.5.23
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.
John.5.23
"It's urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.
John.5.23
that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
John.5.23
that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
John.5.23
so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. But if you refuse to honor the Son, then you are certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.
John.5.24
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.
John.5.24
"It's urgent that you get this right: The time has arrived--I mean right now!-when dead men and women will hear the voice of the Son of God and, hearing, will come alive.
John.5.24
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
John.5.24
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John.5.24
"I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
John.5.25
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.
John.5.25
Just as the Father has life in himself, he has conferred on the Son life in himself.
John.5.25
I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
John.5.25
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
John.5.25
"And I assure you that the time is coming, in fact it is here, when the dead will hear my voice--the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
John.5.26
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John.5.26
And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.
John.5.26
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
John.5.26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
John.5.26
The Father has life in himself, and he has granted his Son to have life in himself.
John.5.27
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
John.5.27
"Don't act so surprised at all this. The time is coming when everyone dead and buried will hear his voice.
John.5.27
And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
John.5.27
and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
John.5.27
And he has given him authority to judge all mankind because he is the Son of Man.
John.5.28
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
John.5.28
Those who have lived the right way will walk out into a resurrection Life; those who have lived the wrong way, into a resurrection Judgment.
John.5.28
"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
John.5.28
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
John.5.28
Don't be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God's Son,
John.5.29
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.
John.5.29
"I can't do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I'm not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders.
John.5.29
and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.
John.5.29
and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
John.5.29
and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to judgment.
John.5.30
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.
John.5.30
If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an empty, self-serving witness.
John.5.30
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
John.5.30
I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
John.5.30
But I do nothing without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. And my judgment is absolutely just, because it is according to the will of God who sent me; it is not merely my own.
