Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 5:25-29

_ _ The hour cometh — in its whole fullness, at Pentecost.

_ _ and now is — in its beginnings.

_ _ the dead — the spiritually dead, as is clear from John 5:28. Here He rises from the calmer phrase “hearing his word” (John 5:24), to the grander expression, “hearing the voice of the Son of God,” to signify that as it finds men in a dead condition, so it carries with it a resurrection-power.

_ _ shall live — in the sense of John 5:24.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 5:17-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 5:25

The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God — So did Jairus's daughter, the widow's son, Lazarus.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 5:25

(6) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

(6) We are all dead in sin and cannot be made alive by any other means, except by the word of Christ apprehended by faith.
