John 5:30-47 - Witnesses To Jesus
30 I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy; 32 It is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy. 33 You have yourselves sent to John, and he as testified to the Truth. 34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; I am saying this for your Salvation. 35 He was the 'Lamp that was burning' and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in his light.
36 But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John's; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out-- the work that I am doing--is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his Messenger. 37 The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form; 38 And you have not taken his Message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his Messenger. 39 You search the Scriptures, because you think that you find in them Immortal Life; 40 And, though it is those very Scriptures that bear testimony to me, you refuse to come to me to have life.
41 I do not receive honor from men, 42 But I know this of you, that you have not the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe in me, when you receive honor from one another and do not desire the honor which comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have been resting your hopes. 46 For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote; 47 But, if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my teaching?"
