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.

“ Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

“ And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice— the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.

I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming– and is now here– when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.

“ Do not be amazed at this. A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice.

But a new time is coming. In fact, it is already here. True worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. They are the kind of worshipers the Father is looking for.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”

So he gave us new life because of what Christ has done. He gave us life even when we were dead in sin. God’s grace has saved you.

This son of mine was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you don’t hear is that you don’t belong to God.”

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Sardis. Here are the words of Jesus, who holds the seven spirits of God. He has the seven stars in his hand. He says,‘ I know what you are doing. People think you are alive, but you are dead.

Jesus said to him,“ Let dead people bury their own dead. You go and tell others about God’s kingdom.”

Why aren’t my words clear to you? Because you can’t really hear what I say.

You were living in your sins and lawless ways. But in fact you were dead.

By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father’s glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.

Jesus said,“ Woman, believe me. A time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world. It was time for him to go to the Father. Jesus loved his disciples who were in the world. So he now loved them to the very end.

At one time you were dead in your sins. Your desires controlled by sin were not circumcised. But God gave you new life together with Christ. He forgave us all our sins.

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said,“ Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you.

But we had to celebrate and be glad. This brother of yours was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.’ ”

The Father raises the dead and gives them life. In the same way, the Son gives life to anyone he wants to.
