John 5:28

Read in context

John 5:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29 and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
