v.25 a time is coming and is has now come & v.28 a time is coming - Are these the same or different (but related) events? A: 2 types of resurrections described here. Examples: 1 Thes. 4:13-18; Rev. 20: 11-15.
    Also, see v.28 do not be amazed? & v.28 all who are in the graves

v.26 source of life - physical or spiritual or eternal?

    vv.22, 27, 30 ? Why the frequent mention of judging throughout this passage?

v.29 rise to be condemned (NIV) or resurrection to life (NAS)?  to be condemned to what?  death again (v.24)?  resurrection to death (NAS)?

v.30 please him who sent me - to honor & voluntary submission to the Father vv.19-23

    - Is "I judge only as I hear" similar to v.19 “sees” ?
    - when we do God's will, He bears witness of us v.32
------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the overall big idea that Jesus is trying to convey to the Jews here?  A:  Jesus is God (deity) because He holds the same power of life, death, resurrection power, and judging of mankind as God does.
