John 5:27 - Forerunner Commentary

John 5:27

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.
