About this listen

 Charlotte, Hammond, Jimmy, Laura and Nigel explore the Book of John by discussing it together online. 18 This was why the Jews zwere seeking all the more to kill him,abecause not only was he bbreaking the Sabbath, but he was evencalling God chis own Father, dmaking himself equal with God. The Authority of the Son 19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ethe Son fcando nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Fatherdoing. For whatever the Father5 does, that the Son does likewise.20 For gthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himselfis doing. And hgreater works than these will he show him, so thatiyou may marvel. 21 For as the Father jraises the dead and kgivesthem life, so lalso the Son gives life mto whom he will. 22 nFor theFather judges no one, but ohas given all judgment to the Son, 23 thatall may honor the Son, just as they phonor the Father. qWhoeverdoes not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.24 Truly, truly, I say to you, rwhoever hears my word and sbelieveshim who sent me has eternal life. He tdoes not come intojudgment, but uhas passed from death to life. 25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, van hour is coming, and is now here,when wthe dead will hear xthe voice of the Son of God, and thosewho hear wwill live. 26 yFor as the Father has life in himself, zso hehas granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he ahasgiven him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son ofMan. 28 Do not marvel at this, for van hour is coming when ballwho are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, cthosewho have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who havedone evil to the resurrection of judgment. Witnesses to Jesus 30 d“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and emyjudgment is just, because fI seek not my own will gbut the will ofhim who sent me. 31 hIf I alone bear witness about myself, mytestimony is not true. 32 There is ianother who bears witness aboutme, and jI know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.33 kYou sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Notthat lthe testimony that I receive is from man, but I say thesethings so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and mshininglamp, and nyou were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 Butlthe testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For otheworks that the Father has given me pto accomplish, the very worksthat I am doing, qbear witness about me that rthe Father has sentme. 37 And the Father who sent me shas himself borne witnessabout me. His voice you have never heard, this form you have neverseen, 38 and uyou do not have his word abiding in you, for you donot believe the one whom he has sent. 39 vYou search theScriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life;and wit is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet xyou refuse tocome to me that you may have life. 41 yI do not receive glory frompeople. 42 But zI know that you do not have athe love of God withinyou. 43 I have come bin my Father’s name, and cyou do not receiveme. dIf another comes in his own name, you will receive him.44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one anotherand edo not seek the glory that comes from fthe only God? 45 Donot think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one whoaccuses you: Moses, gon whom you have set your hope. 46 For if youbelieved Moses, you would believe me; for hhe wrote of me. 47 Butiif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
