John 5:23 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. As he who believes that Christ, in the foregoing verses, has given a true account of His relation to the Father must of necessity hold Him entitled to the same honour as the Father, so He here adds that it was the Father's express intention, in making over all judgment to the Son, that men should thus honour Him.

He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him, х ton (G3588) pempsanta (G3992) auton (G846)] - 'which sent Him:' he does not do it in fact, whatever he may imagine, and will be held as not doing it by the Father Himself, who will accept no homage which is not accorded to His own Son.
