What does 'whosoever' mean in John 5?

Answered in 1 source

'Whosoever' signifies that anyone can come to Christ for healing and salvation, regardless of their past.

'Whosoever' is a powerful term in the teachings of Jesus that extends an open invitation to all people. In John 5, Jesus emphasizes that it doesn't matter who you are or what you have done—healing and wholeness are available to 'whosoever' believes in Him. This underscores the doctrine of grace where God's saving power is not limited to the noble or the righteous but extends to the 'impotent' and 'feeble'—all who recognize their need for a Savior. The grace of Christ makes wholeness accessible to everyone who calls upon His name.
