22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
22 Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son
22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
22 In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge,
25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.
25 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.
25 "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
25 "It's urgent that you get this right: The time has arrived - I mean right now! - when dead men and women will hear the voice of the Son of God and, hearing, will come alive.
25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
25 "And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it's here now, when the dead will hear my voice-the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
(Read John 5:24-29)
Our Lord declared his authority and character, as the Messiah. The time was come when the dead should hear his voice, as the Son of God, and live. Our Lord first refers to his raising those who were dead in sin, to newness of life, by the power of the Spirit, and then to his raising the dead in their graves. The office of Judge of all men, can only be exercised by one who has all knowledge, and almighty power. May we believe His testimony; thus our faith and hope will be in God, and we shall not come into condemnation. And may His voice reach the hearts of those dead in sin; that they may do works meet for repentance, and prepare for the solemn day.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.
26 Just as the Father has life in himself, he has conferred on the Son life in himself.
26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
26 The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.

27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
27 And he has given him the authority, simply because he is the Son of Man, to decide and carry out matters of Judgment.
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
27 And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 5:22
Commentary on John 5:17-23
(Read John 5:17-23)
The Divine power of the miracle proved Jesus to be the Son of God, and he declared that he worked with, and like unto his Father, as he saw good. These ancient enemies of Christ understood him, and became more violent, charging him not only with sabbath-breaking, but blasphemy, in calling God his own Father, and making himself equal with God. But all things now, and at the final judgment, are committed to the Son, purposely that all men might honour the Son, as they honour the Father; and every one who does not thus honour the Son, whatever he may think or pretend, does not honour the Father who sent him.
