22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto 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,
23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
23 so that the Son will be honored equally with the Father. Anyone who dishonors the Son, dishonors the Father, for it was the Father's decision to put the Son in the place of honor.
23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.
(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.
27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
27 And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
27 And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.
(Read John 5:24-29)
Our Lord declared his authority and character, as the Messiah. The time was come when the dead should hear his voice, as the Son of God, and live. Our Lord first refers to his raising those who were dead in sin, to newness of life, by the power of the Spirit, and then to his raising the dead in their graves. The office of Judge of all men, can only be exercised by one who has all knowledge, and almighty power. May we believe His testimony; thus our faith and hope will be in God, and we shall not come into condemnation. And may His voice reach the hearts of those dead in sin; that they may do works meet for repentance, and prepare for the solemn day.
