John 5:31-47 - Further Testimony About The Son
31 "If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is of no force, 32 There is someone else who testifies to me, and I know that the testimony which He gives to me is of force. 33 You yourselves sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34 However, I do not accept mere human testimony, but I am saying this that you may be saved. 35 John was the lamp that kept on burning and shining, and you decided for a time to delight yourselves in his light.
36 But I have testimony that is higher than John's, for the works which my Father has committed to me to finish, the very works that I am doing, testify to me that the Father has sent me; 37 yes, the Father who has sent me has testified to me Himself. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form; 38 and you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the messenger whom He has sent. 39 "You keep on searching the Scriptures, for you yourselves suppose that you will get possession of eternal life through them; and yet they are witnesses that testify to me, 40 but you refuse to come to me to get possession of life.
41 I do not accept any honor from men, 42 but I am sure that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father's name, but you refuse to accept me. If anyone else should come in his own name, you would accept him. 44 How can you believe, you who are always accepting honor from one another, but never seek the honor that comes from the one God? 45 Do not be thinking that I am going to accuse you to the Father. You have your accuser; it is Moses on whom you have set your hopes! 46 For if you really believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you ever believe what I say?"
