A man

you know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John announced:

For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely to him, because I cannot believe that any of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner.

Now when John heard in prison about the deeds Christ had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened there in these days?"

came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him."

"But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete -- the deeds I am now doing -- testify about me that the Father has sent me.

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, "This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, "Whenever the Christ comes, he won't perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?"

If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.

If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.

while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
