JOHN—NOTE ON John 5:21 Jesus’ statement that the Son also gives life to whom he will is another claim to deity. It shows that Jesus does what only God can do: raise the dead and give life. This “life” is both the new “life” now given to believers (v. John 5:24; John 11:25; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the resurrection of the body at Christ’s second coming (1 Corinthians 15:42; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; see Daniel 12:2).
