Witness » God the father giving witness to jesus Christ
For we did not follow skilfully constructed myths in making known to you the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye witnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when this voice was brought to him from the magnificent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice we heard brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mount.
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you please, we will make here three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him.
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; for he knew not what he answered, for they were afraid.

And when they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know,
that all should honor the Son as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father that sent him. I tell you most truly, he that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed from death to life. I tell you most truly, that the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that hear shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he also given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man. Wonder not at this; for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice and shall come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of him that sent me. If I testify of myself my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. You sent to John, and he testified to the truth; but I receive not testimony from a man; but I say these things that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining light, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. But I have greater testimony than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father has sent me; and the Father who sent me, he has testified of me. You have not heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form; and his word you have not continuing in you, for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

Then the Pharisees said to him, You testify of yourself; your testimony is not true. Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go; but you know not whence I come or whither I go. You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one; read more.
and even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. And it is written also in your law, that the testimony of two men is true; I am one, testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.
and even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. And it is written also in your law, that the testimony of two men is true; I am one, testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me.
Jesus answered them, I have told you and you believe not; the works which I perform in my Father's name, these testify of me; but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you, My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me, read more.
and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. My Father who gave [them] to me is greater than all, and no one can pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said you are gods? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified. I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life. read more.
If any man serves me let him follow me; and where I am there also shall my servant be. If anyone serves me, him will the Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour; Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified and will glorify it again. Then the multitude standing and hearing, said, It was thunder; others said, An angel spoke to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice was not on my account, but for you.

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus, the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood; and the Spirit is that which testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify; the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three are one. read more.
