Joh 5:21, 26 | Family | STEP | The Son quickeneth ; giveth life, natural and spiritual, to whom he will--thus doing the work of God, and showing that he is God.

‏ John 5:26

Given to the Son to have life in himself; here the Saviour brings to view both his oneness with the Father in nature, and his subordination to him in office. To have life in himself, with the power of giving life at will, is to be proper God. But the office of quickening whom he will he has received, as Mediator, from the Father, and exercises it in accordance with the Father's appointment.
