22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
22 Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
22 In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 5:22
Commentary on John 5:17-23
(Read John 5:17-23)
The Divine power of the miracle proved Jesus to be the Son of God, and he declared that he worked with, and like unto his Father, as he saw good. These ancient enemies of Christ understood him, and became more violent, charging him not only with sabbath-breaking, but blasphemy, in calling God his own Father, and making himself equal with God. But all things now, and at the final judgment, are committed to the Son, purposely that all men might honour the Son, as they honour the Father; and every one who does not thus honour the Son, whatever he may think or pretend, does not honour the Father who sent him.
