Here's an interesting literary structure in John 5:19-30 on the relationship between the divine Father and Son:
- V19 – The Son does only what the Father does.
- V20 – The Father does great works, and will do greater for the Son.
- V21 – Marvel: The Father raises the dead, so does the Son
- V22a – Father judges no man
- V22b – Father gave judgment to the Son
- V23a – All should honor the Son, as they honor the Father
- V23b – Failure to honor the Son is failure to honor the Father
- V24 – Life for those who hear and believe, not judgment.
- V25 – Hour is coming for the resurrection and repentance of the spiritually dead
- V26 – Father has given the power of life to the Son of God
- V27 – Father has given the power of judgment to the Son of Man
- V28-29 – Marvel: The hour is coming for the resurrection & judgment of the physically dead
- V29 – Life for the righteous and judgment for the unrighteous
- V30 – The Son does only what the Father wills.
