JOHN 5.25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that the hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
IOHN 5.25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that the houre is comming and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God, and they that heare shall live.

In brief, these words show Christs Divinity by the effects of it, that he can quicken the dead.
