■52 SECOND APPEAL
can hardly be expressed by language than that which
the}- contain. I must therefore beg permission to give
the entire passage in this place, though some parts of it
have been quoted before in support of arguments already
discussed. Jt is to be observed, that the occasion of the
expressions here made use of hy Jesus, was the accusa-
tion brought against him by the Jews, that he had made
himself equal with God. John, ch. v. vers. 19—36 :
"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing oj himself
but what he seeth the Father do: for what things so-
ever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 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. For as the Father
raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them : even so the
Sou quickeneth whom he will. For the Father jud-
geth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son ; that all men should honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. Verily,,
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and be-
lievcth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life. Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, The hour is com-
ing, and now is, when the de^id shall hear the voice of the
Son of God : and they that hear shall live. For as the
Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to
have life in himself*;; and hath given him authority to exe-
cute judgment also, because he is the Son of Man. Marvel
not at this : for the hour is coming in which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth ;
