Study Note

The teaching on two resurrections — the 'resurrection of life' for those who have done good and the 'resurrection of judgment' for those who have done evil — is John's most explicit affirmation of a general bodily resurrection and post-mortem judgment. The language draws directly on Daniel 12:2 and establishes that the Fourth Gospel's realized eschatology (eternal life now, judgment now) does not eliminate future bodily resurrection, as some interpreters have claimed. The criterion 'done good' and 'done evil' should be read in the Johannine context where 'the work of God' is to believe in the one he has sent (verse 29), making the moral summary subordinate to the christological demand. Acts 24:15 echoes the two-resurrection structure, indicating the currency of this teaching in early Christian preaching.
