Further Testimony About The Son

36 But I have greater witness than the witness of John. For the works which the father hath given me to finish: the same works that I do: bear witness of me, that the father sent me. 37 And the father himself, which hath sent me, beareth witness of me. Ye have not heard his voice at any time; Nor yet have seen his shape. 38 Thereto, his words have ye not abiding in you: For whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
