The link between the third and fourth sign (5: 16 - 47).
"Life in Himself." "All Judgment."
The Equality of the Son with the Father.
pp. 222 - 226
Having deferred examination of the different passages that spoke of "judgment",
"condemnation" or "damnation", we now examine the remaining subdivisions of this
section, John 5: 26, 27 and John 5: 30. The latter reference closes the section, and is in
direct correspondence with the opening member verse 19.
A | 19. Nothing of Self. "What He seeth." |
a1 | The Son can do nothing of Himself.
b1 | What He seeth the Father do.
b1 | Whatsoever He do.
a1 | These also doeth the Son likewise.

A | 30. Nothing of Self. "As I hear." |
a2 | I can of Mine own self do nothing.
b2 | As I hear I judge.
b2 | My judgment is just.
a2 | Not My own will, but His.
John 5: 26, 27 is in direct correspondence with John 5: 21-23.
C | 21-23. Equality of the Son. |
c | For as . . . so . . . raise and quicken.
d | Krino . . . Krisis: Judgment.
e | The Son sent.

C | 26, 27. Equality of the Son. |
c | For as . . . so . . . life in Himself.
d | Krisis: Judgment.
e | The Son of Man.
Three important items claim our attention in these sections,
1. The double title "The Son of God" and "The Son of Man" (John 5: 25, 27).
2. The claim that the Son had been given "life in Himself".
3. The emphasis that is placed upon "judgment".
Summing up the chief purpose which he had in view John says,
"These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing ye might have life through His Name" (John 20: 31).
