³¹“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. ³²There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. ³³You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. ³⁴(And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.) ³⁵That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.

³⁶“But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me. ³⁷And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form. ³⁸And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe. ³⁹You search^g the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me. ⁴⁰And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

⁴¹“I do not accept glory^h from people, ⁴²but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. ⁴³I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one! ⁴⁴How are you able to believe, if you^* accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God? ⁴⁵Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope! ⁴⁶For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me. ⁴⁷But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”
