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.

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.

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?

Wherefore, brothers, use the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things you shall never fall. For thus shall you have an abundant entrance given you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not neglect always to remind you of these things, although you have known them, and have been established in the present truth. I think it right as long as I am in this tabernacle, to excite you by remembrance, knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is at hand, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. But I will also be diligent and especially that you may be able to make mention of these things after my departure. For we did not follow skilfully constructed myths in making known to you the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye witnesses of his majesty.

But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin. He that hates me, hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause. But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me; and you shall also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

These are the two olive trees, and the two lamps, which stand before the Lord of the earth. And if any one will injure them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their adversaries; and if any one will injure them, he must thus be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it may not rain in the days of their prophecy, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to smite the earth with every plague as often as they will. And when they shall finish their testimony, the beast which ascends from the abyss shall make war with them, and conquer them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. And the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be buried. And those that dwell on the earth shall be glad, and rejoice over them, and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented those that dwell on the earth.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, Ascend hither; and they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
