John 5:31-47 - Further Testimony About The Son
31 if I testified of my self, my testimony would be suspected. 32 there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives of me, is true. 33 you yourselves sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. 34 not that I need the testimony of men: but this I tell you, for your own security. 35 he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light.
36 but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me. 37 and the father who sent me, hath himself born witness of me. his voice you have never heard, nor ever seen his appearance, 38 nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him. 39 You search the scriptures, for you think by their means to have eternal life, and they are the very writings which do testify of me. 40 yet you will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 I do not by this seek your applause. 42 for this I know of you, that you are not possess'd with any love for God. 43 I am come in my father's name, and you receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him you will receive. 44 how can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only? 45 don't imagine that I shall accuse you to my father: even Moses himself in whom you confide, will be your accuser. 46 for had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: since he has spoke of me in his writings. 47 but if you don't believe what he has writ, how should you believe what I say?
