      Jesus continues with the help of a contrast/alternative⁴³⁵ of “good”⁴³⁶ – “evil”⁴³⁷ as either (in Latin “aut”) the “raising of life” or (“aut”) the “raising of judgement” (cf., for example, Daniel 12:2; Matthew 7:21; 25:46; Acts 24:15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:13): The result of the faithful – “those /who … ( ) have/ done” (in Greek “poɩéo” in vv. 11b, 15d, 16b, 18b, 19c–f, 20c, 27b, 29b, 30a, 36d) what is “(good)” – will be in a positive way as a “raising” (in Greek “anástasɩs” in v. 29b, c and in John 11:24–25) “of” their (eternal) “life” (vv. 24d, e, 26a, b, 29a, 39c, 40b) at the “Last Day” (cf. 6:39–40, 44, 54; 12:48).

      However, “those /who/ … ( ) have practiced/realized” (in Greek “prásso” in v. 29c and 3:20) what is “(evil)” (cf. v. 29c and John 3:20; Romans 9:11; 2 Corinthians 5:10) will be “in /the/ raising of judgement” (vv. 22b, 24c₂, 27b, 29c, 30c).

      v. 30: Jesus sums up with the help of an inclusion⁴³⁸/parallelism (cf. vv. 19a, 30a) and a correction⁴³⁹ (“not … but” in v. 30d, e as in vv. 22a, b, 24c₂, d, 31b, 32a, 34a, b, 41, 42a) in the sense of a “synthesis” of His “thesis” in verses 17b–c, 19b–20d:

      “( ) [I] can [ ] do (nothing) of His own”

      only “as I hear” (vv. 24b, 25c, d, 28c, 30b, 37b) – “I judge” (vv. 22a, 30b₂)

      “and (my) judgement” (vv. 22b, 24c₂, 27b, 29c, 30c) “( ) [is] just⁴⁴⁰ [ ]

      because { } I seek {not} /My/ will / /

      but the will of sending Me” (vv. 23d₂, 24b, 30e, 37a).

      “God is Jesus’ Father, and the Father has given to the Son power over life and death. […] The Lord our God is one. The answer in 5:19–30 is subtle: the Son does nothing of himself, but the Father has given all things to him.”⁴⁴¹

      - Some Arguments as Testimony for Jesus (vv. 31–47)

      Jesus justifies His view (vv. 17b–c, 19b–20/30) with the help of same arguments – God the FATHER (cf. vv. 32, 36b/37–38), John the Baptist (cf. vv. 33–36a), Jesus’ works (cf. v. 36b–e), the Scriptures (cf. v. 39) – Moses/Torah (cf. vv. 45c–47b⁴⁴²) – as follows:

      He concludes the topic of testimony for Him (cf. vv. 31–47) with an antithetic parallelism (cf. vv. 31b, 32c as in John 8:13–14) as a contrast/correction⁴⁴³ (“n o t … b u t”) (cf. vv. 31–32) – first, in a negative way:

      + God the FATHER ([v]v. [31–]32)

      v. 31: “If I /alone/ testify about Myself” (in Greek “marturéo perì emautoũ/emoũ” in vv. 31a, 32a, d, 36e, 37a₂, 39c₂ and in John 1:7–8, 15; 7:7; 8:14, 18; 10:25; 15:26; 18:23; 21:24; 1 John 5:9–10)

      My testimony⁴⁴⁴ is n o t true” (vv. 31b, 32c and John 8:13).

      v. 32: “b u t /there/ is /another/ who testifies about Me” (vv. 31a, 32a, d, 36e, 37a₂, 39c₂)

      “and I know that

      ( ) the testimony which testifies about Me) [is] (true)” (vv. 31b, 32c and John 1:7; 3:11, 32; 8:14; 19:35; 21:24; 1 John 5:9–10; 3 John 12)”.

      + John the Baptist (vv. 33–36a)

      v. 33: As the FATHER (cf. vv. 33a–36a – note the inclusion) “John” (vv. 33a, 36a and John 1:7, 19–34) the Baptist has also “testified to the truth⁴⁴⁵” (cf. vv. 31b, 32c and John 18:37; 3 John 3).

      v. 34: Jesus emphasizes that He does “not” accept “human” (in Greek “anthrópou/anthrópon in vv. 34a, 41) “testimony”,

      “but”⁴⁴⁶ He “( ) says (these) /things/ that you /may/ be saved⁴⁴⁷” (cf. John 3:17; 10:9; 12:47).

      v. 35: According to Jesus’ metaphor, John the Baptist is like a “lamp” (in Greek “lúchnos” in v. 35a and in Mark 4:21; Matthew 5:15; 6:22; Luke 8:16; 11:33–34, 36; 12:35; 15:8) which was “burning” (in Greek “kaío” in v. 35b₁ and in John 15:6) “and shining” (in Greek “phaíno” in v. 35b₂ and in John 1:5; 1 John 2:8). Especially Jesus’ Jewish opponents were “willing” (vv. 35b, 40a) “to enjoy for /a/ while in” John the Baptist’s “light”⁴⁴⁸ (in Greek “phõs” in v. 35c and in John 1:7–8).

      v. 36: Jesus emphasizes with the help of a comparative that His “testimony /is/ greater” (vv. 20c, 36a) “/than that/ of John” (vv. 33a, 36a).

      + Jesus’ Works (v. 36b–e)

      Jesus’ third argument for His testimony are His “accomplished”⁴⁴⁹ (cf. John 4:34; 17:4) “works” (vv. 20c, 36b, d and 10:25, 38; 14:11–12) which “the FATHER has given” (vv. 22b, 26b, 27a, 36b) and “s e n t” (in Greek “apostéllo” in vv. 33a, 36e, 38b) Him.

      + God the FATHER (vv. 36b/37–38)

      v. 37: For Jesus is “the FATHER who sent” (in Greek “pémpo” in vv. 23d₂, 24b₂, 30e, 37a) Him an important argument for His testimony but “neither” the Jewish aristocrats/people have “heard” (vv. 24b, 25c, d, 28c, 30b, 37b) God’s “voice” (vv. 25c, 28c, 37b), “nor” they have “seen” (in Greek “horáo” in v. 37c and in John 1:18; 6:46; 14:9; 1 John 4:12) His “form”⁴⁵⁰ (cf. Deuteronomy 4:12).

      v. 38: Therefore Jesus continues His accusation that they did “… ( ) not have” God’s “(word) in” them (cf. 1 John 2:14, 24; 3:24) and so, they did “not believe” (vv. 38c, 47a and 3John :12, 18; 4:48; 6:36; 8:24, 45–46; 10:25–26, 37–38; 14:10; 16:9 – please do not use the term unbelieving/unbelief!⁴⁵¹) in Him “who s e n t” (vv. 33a, 36e, 38b) Jesus, His SON.

      + The Scriptures/Hebrew Bible (vv. 39–47)

      v. 39: Jesus’ next argument is their “searching⁴⁵² /of/ the Scriptures⁴⁵³” – the so-called “TaNaK”⁴⁵⁴ (cf. Mark 12:24; 14:49; Matthew 21:42; 22:29; 26:54, 56; Luke 24:27, 32, 45) – in order to find “(eternal) life ( )” (vv. 24d, 39c) “in them” which СКАЧАТЬ
