John 5:31–47

³¹If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true. ³²It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true. ³³Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth. ³⁴But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved. ³⁵He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. ³⁶But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me. ³⁷And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape, ³⁸and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe. ³⁹Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; ⁴⁰and ye will not come to me that ye might have life. ⁴¹I do not receive glory from men, ⁴²but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which comes from God alone? ⁴⁵Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust; ⁴⁶for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
