Discovery BoxJohn 5:23-27 
Context5:23 so that all people 1 will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, 2 the one who hears 3 my message 4 and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, 5 but has crossed over from death to life. 5:25 I tell you the solemn truth, 6 a time 7 is coming – and is now here – when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself, 5:27 and he has granted the Son 8 authority to execute judgment, 9 because he is the Son of Man.
