This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 5:20. Φιλεῖ) He who loves, hides nothing [from the object of his love].-δείκνυσιν, showeth) in heaven. Comp. βλέπῃ, seeth, Joh 5:19. He showeth that [the Son] may do so also. This showing is the part of intimate unity. They compare with this the passage of the Psa 45:5, Thy right hand shall SHOW [Engl. Vers., Joh 5:4, teach] thee wonderful [terrible] things.-αὐτός) Himself.-δείξει) shall show, by doing them. The Father at once showeth and doeth, and the Son seeth and doeth; not at different times.-ἔργα, works) Jesus more often calls them works than signs, because in His own eyes they were not miracles.-ἵνα) even to that degree that.-ὑμεῖς, ye) who now hate, will honour with admiration and belief. This effect was wrought especially at the resurrection of Lazarus [Joh 11:43; Joh 11:45, Many of the Jews, which had seen the things that Jesus did, believed on Him].
