*For the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.* It is admitted by all that the reference in these words is to the general resurrection, and the Jews are told not to be surprised at the spiritual resurrection, inasmuch as the resurrection of all flesh shall come to pass at the word of the same Son of God. The words of this verse imply that the spiritual resurrection excites less wonder than the corporal; and this indeed is true, for though the spiritual resurrection is, in fact, the greater miracle, and in itself more wonderful, yet it is not sensible, and cannot excite our wonder so much as the raising of even one dead body to life. 29. Et procedent qui bona 29. And they that have done fecerunt, in resurrectionem good things, shall come forth vitae: qui vero mala egerunt, unto the resurrection of life; in resurrectionem iudicii. but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. 29. This verse affords a clear proof that we are not justified by faith alone, but that according to our works we shall be rewarded or condemned. 30. Non possum ego a meipso 30. I cannot of myself do facere quidquam. Sicut audio, anything. As I hear, so I iudico: et iudicium meum judge: and my judgment is iustum est, quia non quaero just: because I seek not my voluntatem meam, sed own will, but the will of him voluntatem eius qui misit me. that sent me. 30. What Christ said in verse 19 of every operation of His, He now repeats and applies in particular to this judgment. Since He judges as God‐man, the words “As I hear,” probably refer both to His Divine nature, which, like His judgment was identical with that of the Father, and to His human nature, in which, on account of the plenitude of grace within Him, He can think or will nothing contrary to the Father.(52) 31. Si ego testimonium 31. If I bear witness of perhibeo de meipso, myself, my witness is not testimonium meum non est true. verum. 31. From verse 19 Christ has borne witness to Himself, to His Divine power and equality with the Father, and now He says that if He were _alone_ in bearing such witness of Himself, His witness would not be such as men would be bound to receive. Of course, even though a man were alone and unsupported in testifying regarding himself, still it is plain his witness _might be true_; but it would not be trustworthy, such as ought to be received, because it _might be false_, and would be reasonably suspected. No doubt, Christ’s testimony of Himself though unsupported would be more than enough to those who believed in His Divinity; but He is here addressing those who had no such belief. Comp. viii. 14‐16.
