More Testimony About Jesus
5:31“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 5:32There is another58 who testifies about me, and I know the testimony he testifies about me is true.
Footnotes
- 58 To whom does another refer? To John the Baptist or to the Father? In the nearer context, v. 33, it would seem to be John the Baptist. But v. 34 seems to indicate that Jesus does not receive testimony from men. Probably it is better to view v. 32 as identical to v. 37, with the comments about the Baptist as a parenthetical digression.
