{Quickeneth whom he will} (hous thelei z(936f)poiei). Present
active indicative of z(936f)poie(935c) (from z(936f)poios, making alive),
common in Paul ( 1Co 15:45 , etc.). As yet, so far as we know,
Jesus had not raised the dead, but he claims the power to do it
on a par with the power of the Father. The raising of the son of
the widow of Nain ( Lu 7:11-17 ) is not far ahead, followed by
the message to the Baptist which speaks of this same power ( Lu
7:22  Mt 11:5 ), and the raising of Jairus' daughter ( Mt
9:18,22-26 ). Jesus exercises this power on those "whom he
wills." Christ has power to quicken both body and soul.
