Exegesis
The first clause has ho pater {ὁ πατὴρ | ho patḗr} as its subject, governing two coordinated present tense verbs, egeirei {ἐγείρει | e-geí-rei} “raises” and zoopoiei {ζῳοποιεῖ | zō-o-poi-eî} “makes alive,” with tous nekrous {τοὺς νεκρούς | toús ne-kroús} “the dead” as the shared direct object. The present tense portrays the Father’s life-giving activity as characteristic and ongoing.
In context — John 5:21
For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whomever He wills.
