John 5:31-47 - Further Testimony About The Son
31 "If I bear testimony concerning myself, my testimony is not valid. 32 "Another bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears concerning me is valid. 33 "You yourselves sent to John, and he has been and is a witness to the truth. 34 "(Though for myself I accept no witness from man; I only mention that you may be saved.) 35 "That man was the Lamp-burning and shining??nd you were willing for a time rejoice in his light.
36 "But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion??he work which I am doing??ears testimony concerning me, that the Father has sent me. 37 "And the Father who sent me has himself borne testimony concerning me. None of you has heard his at any time or seen him, 38 nor had his word dwelling within you, because you do not believe him whom he sent. 39 "You are searching the Scriptures because you suppose that in tem you have eternal life; and though these are they that bear witness concerning me, 40 "you will not come to me that you may have life.
41 "I am not receiving honor from men, but I know you, 42 "that you have not the love of God in yourselves. 43 "I am come in the name of my Father and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 "How can you believe when you receive glory from, one another, and have no desire for the glory which comes from the only God? 45 "Do not imagine that I shall accuse you to the Father. Moses is your accuser, on whom you build your hopes. 46 "For if you believed Moses you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47 And if you do not believe his writings, how will you ever believe my words?"
