John 5:31-47 - Further Testimony About The Son
31 "If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted. 32 There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me. 33 "You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth. 34 But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved. 35 He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.
36 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like. 38 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom *He* has sent. 39 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; 40 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
41 "I do not accept glory from man, 42 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God. 43 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive. 44 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God? 45 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests. 46 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. 47 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
