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 .
