This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 5:22. Οὐδέ, neither) The Father does not judge alone, nor without the Son: yet He does judge; Joh 5:45, “Do not think I will accuse you to the Father;” Act 17:31, “He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained;” Rom 3:6, “God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?” Nor is the word δέδωκε, He hath given, in this passage, opposed [to the Father’s judging]: comp. Joh 5:26, “As the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given the Son to have life in Himself,” with Joh 5:21, “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them: even so the Son quickeneth whom He will.”-γάρ, for) The Son decides by His own judgment whom He pleases [wills] to quicken. [And for that end the dead are raised up, that they may be judged.-V. g.]-οὐδένα, no man) To this refer πάντες, all men, in the ver. following.
