John 5:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ ·I tell you the truth [^LTruly, truly I say to you], the ·time [^Lhour] is coming and is already here when the dead will ·hear [obey] the voice of the Son of God, and those who ·hear [obey] will ·have life [live]. ²⁶ [^LFor] ·Life comes from the Father himself [just as the Father has life], ·and [so] he has ·allowed the Son to have [given the Son] life in himself as well. ²⁷ And the Father has given the Son the ·approval [authority; power; right] to ·judge [execute judgment], because he is the Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14].
