Try John 5:24-29. Notice the "and now is" in vs 25 and the "the hour is coming" in verse 28. One (vs 25) concerns the spiritual resurrection and the other (vs 28) concerns the bodidly resurrection at the end of time.

Joh 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears My Word and believes on Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Joh 5:25 Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they who hear shall live. Joh 5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life within Himself, Joh 5:27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Joh 5:28 Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice, Joh 5:29 and shall come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

Then why are the graveyards still full? The way I read this is that those who believe in Jesus move from the "doomed" column to the "saved" column. "Shall come forth" would indicate a future event.
