SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:21

Porque como el Padre levanta los muertos, y les da vida, así tambin el Hijo a los que quiere da vida.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 5:21

Verse 21. As the
Father raised up the dead] This he did in the case of the widow's son at Sarepta, 1 Kings xvii. 22, by the ministry of the Prophet Elijah. And again, in the case of the Shunamite's son, 2 Kings iv. 32-35, by the ministry of the Prophet Elisha.

The Son quickeneth whom he will.] He raiseth from death to life whomsoever he pleases. So he did, for he raised the ruler's daughter, Mark v. 35-42; the widow's son at Nain, Luke vii. 11-15; and Lazarus, at Bethany, chap. xi. 14-44.

Whom he will. Here our Lord points out his sovereign power and independence; he gives life according to his own will-not being obliged to supplicate for the power by which it was done, as the prophets did; his own will being absolute and sufficient in every case.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them , etc.] Which may be understood either spiritually of raising dead sinners from the death of sin, to a life of grace and holiness; and the rather, because it is expressed in the present tense raiseth, and not hath raised; or naturally of raising those that are dead in a corporeal sense, and quickening them, as the widow of Sareptas son by Elijah, and the Shunamites son by Elisha: even so the Son quickeneth whom he will ; both in a spiritual sense, being the resurrection and the life, or the author of the resurrection from a moral death to a spiritual life, whose voice, in the Gospel, the dead in sin hear, and live; and in a natural sense, as in the above instances of Jairuss daughter, the widow of Naims son, and Lazarus; and in the general resurrection, when at his voice, and word of power, all that are in their graves shall come forth, some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting damnation; and all this as he wills: he quickens, in a spiritual sense, whom he pleases, even as many as the Father has given him; and he will raise up to everlasting life, at the last day, whom he pleases, even as many as were made his care and charge, whom he has redeemed by his blood; and called by his grace. Now as the quickening of the dead is an act of almighty power, and this being exercised by the Son in a sovereign way, as is by his Father, it shows his proper deity, and full equality with the Father. The resurrection of the dead is here expressed by quickening, as it frequently is by the Jews, who often speak of ytmh tyyht , the quickening the dead, for the resurrection; so the Targumist on ( Zechariah 3:8), in the quickening of the dead, nyja , I will quicken thee; see the Jerusalem Targum on ( Genesis 29:26 25:34).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-23 - The
Divine power of the miracle proved Jesus to be the Son of God, an he declared that he worked with, and like unto his Father, as he saw good. These ancient enemies of Christ understood him, and became mor violent, charging him not only with sabbath-breaking, but blasphemy, is 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 thin or pretend, does not honour the Father who sent him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

21. Raiseth - quickeneth. Physically and spiritually.

The Son quickeneth. Not raiseth and quickeneth. The quickening, however (zwopoiei, maketh alive), includes the raising, so that the two clauses are coextensive. In popular conception the raising precedes the quickening; but, in fact, the making alive is the controlling fact of the raising. Egeirei, raiseth, means primarily awaketh.
