Scripture » The scriptures testifying of jesus Christ
that all should honor the Son as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father that sent him. I tell you most truly, he that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed from death to life. I tell you most truly, that the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that hear shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man. Wonder not at this; for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice and shall come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of him that sent me. If I testify of myself my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. You sent to John, and he testified to the truth; but I receive not testimony from a man; but I say these things that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining light, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. But I have greater testimony than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father has sent me; and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form; and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not. You search the Scriptures, because you think by them to have eternal life; and they testify of me; and you will not come to me that you may have life. I receive not glory from men, but I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not; if another comes in his own name, him will you receive. How can you believe, receiving glory one from another, and the glory from God alone you seek not? Think not that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me. But if you believe not his writings, how will you believe my words?

And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and Prophets, and Psalms, concerning me, must be fully accomplished. Then he opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day,
