John 5:27-34
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
27and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. 28Do not be amazed at this; for a time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29and will come out: those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.King James Version
Chapter 5
27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

Chapter 5
27And he has granted him the right to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear his voice 29and come out--those who have done good things, to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked things, to the resurrection of condemnation.
31"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
32There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.
33You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.
34I don't receive human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
27And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man. 28Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son, 29and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. 30I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.
31If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid.
32But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure you that everything he says about me is true.
33In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true.
34Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
27And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
31If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.
32There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.
33You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
New International Version
28Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29and 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.
30By 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.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
27and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29and come forth— those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
31“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
32There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
34Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
