Commentary on John 5:21
'For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.' Raising the dead is God's exclusive prerogative (Deuteronomy 32:39). Jesus claims this same power—giving life to whomever He chooses. The 'whom he will' emphasizes sovereign choice. This isn't mere prophetic delegation (Elijah, Elisha raising dead) but divine prerogative exercised sovereignly. The Son gives life by His own authority.
