John 5:31–47

³¹If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

³²There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

³³You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth.

³⁴But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved.

³⁵He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

³⁶But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect, the works themselves which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷And the Father himself who hath sent me hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

³⁸And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.

³⁹Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me.

⁴⁰And you will not come to me that you may have life.

⁴¹I receive not glory from men.

⁴²But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

⁴³I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

⁴⁴How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?

⁴⁵Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.

⁴⁶For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me.

⁴⁷But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
