John 5:22
Compare all
20 For athe Father loves the Son, and bshows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.  
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, aeven so the Son gives life to whom He will.  
22 For the Father judges no one, but ahas committed all judgment to the Son,  
23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. aHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.  

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, ahe who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, bbut has passed from death into life.  
25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when athe dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.  
26 For aas the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have blife in Himself,  
27 and ahas given Him authority to execute judgment also, bbecause He is the Son of Man.  
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ahear His voice  
29 aand come forth—bthose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.  
30 aI can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because bI do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

John 5:22

For the Father judgeth no man, etc.—rather, "For neither doth the Father judge any man," implying that the same "thing was meant in the former verse of the quickening of the dead"—both acts being done, not by the Father and the Son, as though twice done, but by the Father through the Son as His voluntary Agent.

all judgment—judgment in its most comprehensive sense, or as we should say, all administration.



John 5:21-23

raiseth the dead and quickeneth them—one act in two stages. This is His absolute prerogative as God.

so the Son quickeneth them—that is, raiseth up and quickeneth.

whom he will—not only doing the same divine act, but doing it as the result of His own will, even as the Father does it. This statement is of immense importance in relation to the miracles of Christ, distinguishing them from similar miracles of prophets and apostles, who as human instruments were employed to perform super-natural actions, while Christ did all as the Father's commissioned Servant indeed, but in the exercise of His own absolute right of action.
