* For the Father (note :)This word «judgeth » is taken by the figure of speech synecdoche to represent all governing .(:note ) judgeth These words are not to be taken as though they simply denied that God governed the world , but rather they deny that he governed as the Jews imagined it , who separate the Father from the Son , whereas indeed , the Father does not govern the world , but only in the person of his Son , being made manifest in the flesh : so he says below in ( Joh_5:30 ), that he came not to do his own will : that his doctrine is not his own , that the blind man and his parents did not sin ( Joh_7:16 ; Joh_9:3 ), etc . no man , but hath committed all judgment unto the Son : * Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne , as they honour the Father : he that honoureth not the Sonne , the same honoureth not the Father , which hath sent him .
