SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:27

y tambi�n le dio potestad de hacer juicio, por cuanto es Hijo de hombre.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 5:27

Verse 27. Because he is the Son of man.] Because he is the Messiah; for in this sense the phrase, Son of man, is often to be understood. But some join this to the next verse thus:- Marvel not at this, because he is the Son of man.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also , etc.] Both in his church and kingdom, in the present state of things, and at the last day, when all shall stand before his judgment seat: and that because he is the son of man ; truly and properly man; because though he was in the form of God, and equal to him, yet became man, and was in the form of a servant: and so reads the Ethiopic version, �because the Son of God is the son of man�; and therefore the authority of executing judgment, according to the council and covenant of peace, is committed to him; or that men might have a visible judge, or be judged by one in their own nature: agreeably the Persic version renders it, �because the Son himself is he who judges the sons of men�; or rather because he is that son of man spoken of in prophecy, especially in ( Daniel 7:13); by whom is meant the Messiah, as the Jews themselves allow f244 , and who was not a mere man, but the man God�s fellow; and so being omniscient and omnipotent, was equal to such a work, which otherwise he would not have been; (see Gill on � John 5:22�). The Syriac version joins this clause to the beginning of ( John 5:28), and reads it thus, �because he is the son of man, marvel not at this�; let this be no obstruction to your faith of his quickening the dead, and having authority to execute judgment on all; since, though the son of man, he is not a mere man, but God over all, as what is next ascribed to him manifestly shows.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24-29 - Our Lord declared his authority and character, as the Messiah. The tim was come when the dead should hear his voice, as the Son of God, an live. Our Lord first refers to his raising those who were dead in sin to newness of life, by the power of the Spirit, and then to his raisin the dead in their graves. The office of Judge of all men, can only be exercised by one who has all knowledge, and almighty power. May we believe His testimony; thus our faith and hope will be in God, and we shall not come into condemnation. And may His voice reach the hearts of those dead in sin; that they may do works meet for repentance, an prepare for the solemn day.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

27. Authority. See on i. 12.

Also. Omit.

The Son of man. Better, a son of man. The article is wanting. The authority is assigned to Him as being very man. John uses the article everywhere with this phrase, except here and Apoc. i. 13; xiv. 14. See on Luke vi. 22.
