³¹‘If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true; ³²another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true; ³³ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴‘But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved; ³⁵he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶‘But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷‘And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen; ³⁸and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁹‘Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; ⁴⁰and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life; ⁴¹glory from man I do not receive, ⁴²but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

⁴³‘I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive; ⁴⁴how are ye able—ye—to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

⁴⁵‘Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses—in whom ye have hoped; ⁴⁶for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me; ⁴⁷but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’
