Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
All Commentaries on John 5:25 Go To John 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After, The hour comes, He adds, and nowis; to let us know that it will not be long before it comes. For as in the future resurrection we shall be roused by hearing His voice speaking to us, so is it now.
The likeness isperfect in all but one respect, viz. that, in point of essence, one is the Father, the other the Son.
