## John 5:20-21 in Context (Verses 17–24 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/john/5/17) ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/john/5/18) Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/john/5/19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/john/5/20) For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/john/5/21) For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth *them*; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/john/5/22) For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/john/5/23) That all *men* should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/john/5/24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
