formed the Jews, that it was Jesus
who had made him whole. (16)And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus,
and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the
sabbath-day.
(17)Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
(18)Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only
broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on
an equality with God. (19)Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself,
except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth,
the same and in the same manner doth the Son. (20)For the Father loveth
the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater
works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder. (21)For as the
Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son
quicken whom he pleases. (22)For the Father never judgeth any man, but

because he is the Son of man. (28)Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29)and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the
resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices,
to the resurrection of damnation. (30)I am not able to perform any
thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I
seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. (31)If I
bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. (32)There is another
who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he
witnesseth concerning me. (33)Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to
the truth. (34)But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these
things, that ye may believe. (35)He was a
