Discovery BoxJohn 5:22-29 
Context5:22 Furthermore, the Father does not judge 1 anyone, but has assigned 2 all judgment to the Son, 5:23 so that all people 3 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, 4 the one who hears 5 my message 6 and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, 7 but has crossed over from death to life. 5:25 I tell you the solemn truth, 8 a time 9 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 10 authority to execute judgment, 11 because he is the Son of Man.
5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, because a time 12 is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 5:29 and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation. 13
