[h=3]John 5:16-30[/h]New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
[h=3]The authority of the Son[/h][SUP]16 [/SUP]So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. [SUP]17 [/SUP]In his defence Jesus said to them, ‘My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.’ [SUP]18 [/SUP]For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. [SUP]20 [/SUP]For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. [SUP]21 [/SUP]For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. [SUP]22 [/SUP]Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, [SUP]23 [/SUP]that all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father, who sent him.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]‘Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. [SUP]25 [/SUP]Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. [SUP]26 [/SUP]For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. [SUP]27 [/SUP]And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]‘Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
[SUP]29 [/SUP]and come out – those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. [SUP]30 [/SUP]By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

16 The Pharisees were a group who thought the way they read the law was the only right way. They were very scrict.
17 The Pharisees may have not got past Him calling God His father but if they did they would be upset because the way they God rested every sabath and so should they.
18 Jews are not as scrict about this now as Muslims are. Muslims hate christians because of this you can think about how much Muslims hate christians today and that is how much Jews hated Chrisians then. Christ was the frist hated by the Jews.
19-20 Because the Father loves the Son the Son can not do anything without the Father's permission. Today we are to try to live this way by being in God's will as believers.
21-23 We will be raised from death by the Father one day and be judged by the Son. Jesus has shone them that He has the power to raise people from death yet they did not believe God did this. If one is to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ one rejects the Father. This says that without Christ our worship of God is meaningless in a way.
24-27 All that is needed for eternal life is accept the Word. The Word has power and hearing the word can change lives. The Son is as much God as the Father and because of this both have authority and the Father gave His authority over men to Jesus because He died for all men and those accept Him will not be judged but have enterna life however those who reject Him are without hope and cast into outer darkness where there is no good. 28 -30 We are to let Christ be the judge because that is what the Father wanted. There is coming a time we will be judged will you be ready when that time comes?
