This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 5:25. Οἱ νεκροί, the dead) Used literally, in the body, as Jairus’ daughter, the young man at Nain, and Lazarus: ch. Joh 11:23, etc.; who all were raised up after that these words had been spoken: comp. Mat 27:52, etc., “The graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” There follows a gradation: all, Joh 5:28; in which verse the words [added to] the hour, the time that “now is” [καὶ νῦν ἐστίν], are not repeated; [but there is added mention of the graves, which, since Jairus’ daughter and the young man were not yet in the grave (when restored to life), is in this ver. omitted.-V. g.]-ἀκούσονται) Middle: also at Joh 5:28; a rare form.
