John 5:28–32 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
