Verse 22

5:22 For the Father {g} judgeth {h} no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

(g) This word "judgeth" is taken by the figure of speech synecdoche to represent all governing.

(h) These words are not to be taken as though they simply denied that God governed the world, but rather they deny that he governed as the Jews imagined it, who separate the Father from the Son, whereas indeed, the Father does not govern the world, but only in the person of his Son, being made manifest in the flesh: so he says below in John 5:30 , that he came not to do his own will: that his doctrine is not his own, that the blind man and his parents did not sin John 7:16 John 9:3 , etc.
