John 5:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 [a]For likewise as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father [b]judgeth [c]no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son,
23 Because that all men should honor the Son, as they honor the Father: he that honoreth not the Son, the same honoreth not the Father which hath sent him.

- John 5:21 The Father maketh no man partaker of everlasting life, but in Christ, in whom only also he is truly worshipped.
- John 5:22 This word (judgeth) is taken by the figure Synecdoche, for all government.
- John 5:22 These words are not so to be taken, as though they simply denied that God governeth the world, but as the Jews imagined it, which separate the Father from the Son, whereas indeed, the Father doth not govern the world but only in the person of his Son, being made manifest in the flesh: so saith he afterward, verse 30, that he came not to do his own will: that his doctrine is not his own, John 7:16, that the blind man and his parents sinned not, etc., John 9:3.
