John 5:28 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

Marvel not at this - this committal of all judgment to the Son of Man.

For the hour is coming - or, 'there cometh an hour.' But here our Lord adds not, "and now is," as in John 5:25; because the hour there intended was to arrive almost immediately, and in one sense had already come, whereas the hour here meant was not to arrive until the close of the whole dispensation of mercy.

In the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice.
