Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 5:28-30

John 5:28-30. Marvel not at this;— "Be not surprised at my saying that the Son has power to raise a few particular persons from the dead, and authority to inflict judgment on some particular offenders: a far greater power is committedto him, even that of raising all men at the last day, and of judging and rewarding them according to theirworks. Now in this judgment I will not act absolutely or arbitrarily, but according to the laws of equity unalterably established by my Father. So that I shall... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 5:31

John 5:31. If I bear witness of myself, &c.— These certainly were very grand assertions, which our Lord made of his own dignity. But he did not require his hearers to believe them merely on the authority of his own testimony; a circumstance by which the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, isdistinguished from Mahomet and every other impostor. He told them, that he had the testimony of John given him in the hearing of their own deputies; but at the same time he observed, that the truth... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 5:32-33

John 5:32-33. There is another that beareth witness, &c.— This proof, taken from the testimony of John the Baptist, though our Lord seems to speak slightingly of it, when he compares it with the proof drawn from his own miracles, yet was an argument of particular force to the Jews, and could not fail to convince and confound them; for, as we read in another place, they durst not openly speak against John, because the people generally had him in esteem, and thought him a prophet. A proof,... read more

30-32. of mine own self do nothing—that is, apart from the Father, or in any interest than My own. (See on John 5:19). as I hear—that is, "My judgments are all anticipated in the bosom of My Father, to which I have immediate access, and by Me only responded to and reflected. They cannot therefore err, as I live for one end only, to carry into effect the will of Him that sent Me." read more

32. There is another—that is, the Father, as is plain from the connection. How brightly the distinction of the Persons shines out here! and I know that the witness, c.—"This is the Son's testimony to the Father's truth (see John 7:28 John 8:26; John 8:55). It testifies to the full consciousness on the part of the Son, even in the days of His humiliation, of the righteousness of the Father" [ALFORD].

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 5:30

This verse is transitional. It concludes Jesus’ explanation of the Son’s equality with the Father (John 5:19-29), and it introduces His clarification of the Father’s testimony about the Son (John 5:31-47). Some translations consider it the conclusion of the preceding pericope (e.g., NIV), and others take it as the beginning of the next one (e.g., NASB).Jesus’ point was that He could not do anything independent of the Father because of His submission to Him. His judgment is the result of... read more

4. The Father’s witness to the Song of Solomon 5:30-47Jesus now returned to develop a theme that He had introduced previously, namely, the Father’s testimony to the Son (John 5:19-20). Jesus proceeded to cite five witnesses to His identity, all of which came from the Father, since the Jews had questioned His authority."The train of argument in this section is like a court scene, reminiscent of the trial scenes in the OT, when witnesses are summoned by Yahweh to testify on behalf of the gods of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 5:31-32

Jesus had said that the Son can do nothing independently of the Father (John 5:19; John 5:30). That includes even bearing witness. Jesus did not mean that if He said anything about Himself it must be false, though apparently some of the Jews thought He meant that (cf. John 8:13). He meant that the truthfulness of His claims about Himself did not rest on His own testimony exclusively. Jesus had said that He only said and did what the Father said and did. Therefore Jesus’ witness about Himself... read more
