John 5:24-29
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do no be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
In verse 25 Jesus teaches that a time was coming and had now come (the first advent) when the ones who will hear His voice will live. Jesus is teaching here that the only the saved ones will rise and live.
In verses 28-29 Jesus teaches that a different distant time will come (the second advent) and this time both the saved and the unsaved will bodily rise and the saved will live and the unsaved will be condemned.
This shows that the first resurrection was only spiritual and that they rose and reigned with Jesus in His kingdom at the first advent for they had crossed from death to life even when their body died.
