 But Jesus  said  to  them:  “My  Father  worketh  until  now,  and  I work.”  Hearing  this,  the  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill  Him, because He  not  only,  as  they  thought,  broke  the  Sabbath, but also  said  that  God  was  His  Father,  making  Himself  equal to God.

Jesus then,  gave  them  more  plainly  to  understand  that  He  was the Son  of  God  and  equal  to  the  Father:  “Amen,  amen,  I say unto you;  the  Son  cannot  do  anything  of  Himself,  but  what  He seeth  the  Father  do; for  what  things  soever  He  doeth,  these  the Son also  doeth  in  like  manner. For the  Father  loveth  the  Son, and showeth  Him  all  things  which  Himself  doeth; and  greater works than  these  will  He  show  Him,  that  you  may  wonder.

“For as  the  Father  raiseth  up  the  dead,  and  giveth  life,  so the  Son  also  giveth  life  to  whom  He  will. For neither  doth  the Father judge  any  man,  but  hath  committed  all  judgment  to  the Son, that  all  men  may  honour  the  Son  as  they  honour  the  Father. Amen, amen,  I say  unto  you,  he  that  heareth  My  word  and believeth Him  that  sent  Me  hath  everlasting  life. Amen, amen, I say unto  you,  that  the  hour  cometh  and  now  is,  when  the  dead shall hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God,  and  they  that  hear  shall live Wonder  not  at  this,  for  the  hour  cometh,  wherein  all  that are in  the  graves  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God. And they that  have  done  good  things,  shall  come  forth  unto  the  resurrection of  life,  but  they  that  have  done  evil,  to  the  resurrection of judgment.”
