John 5:25-27

Mace(i) 25 I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 for as the father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son, to have life in himself; 27 and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the son of man.
