More Testimony About Jesus

5:31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 5:32 There is another58 who testifies about me, and I know the testimony he testifies about me is true. 5:33 You have sent to John,59 and he has testified to the truth. 5:34 (I do not accept60 human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.) 5:35 He was a lamp that was burning and shining,61 and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time62 in his light.

5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds63 that the Father has assigned me to complete—the deeds64 I am now doing—testify about me that the Father has sent me. 5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people65 have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,66 5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent. 5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly67 because you think in them you possess eternal life,68 and it is these same scriptures69 that testify about me, 5:40 but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

5:41 “I do not accept70 praise71 from people,72 5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God73 within you. 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept74 me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept75 him. 5:44 How can you believe, if you accept praise76 from one another and don’t seek the praise77 that comes from the only God?78

5:45 “Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.79 5:46 If80 you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 5:47 But if you do not believe what Moses81 wrote, how will you believe my words?”
