For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself, And hath given him authority, to execute judgment likewise, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth, they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation. I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just: because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I testify of myself, my testimony is not valid.

How can ye believe, while ye receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that is from God only? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
