I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father having sent me. If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true. Another is testifying of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these I say that ye might be saved. He was a burning and manifest light: and ye wished to rejoice for a time in his light. And I have greater testimony than of John: for the works that the Father gave me that I might finish them, the same works that I do, testify of me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father having sent me, he has testified of me. Nor have ye at any time heard his voice, or seen his form. And his word ye have not remaining in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Search the writings; for ye think in them to have eternal life: and these are they testifying of me. And ye wish not to come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from man. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him will ye receive. How can ye believe, receiving glory from one another, and ye seek not the glory that from God alone? Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: he accusing you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me. And if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
For I Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, saving thee: I gave Egypt expiating thee, Cush and Seba instead of thee.

Thou shalt not fear, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the sunrisings, and from the west I will gather thee. read more.

And they sprung up in the midst of the enclosure as willows by streams of water. This shall say, I to Jehovah; and this shall call in the name of Jacob; and this shall write his hand to Jehovah, and he shall address in the name of Israel.

Truly they therefore having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time thou wilt restore the kingdom of Israel?

And the lame healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran to them in the porch called Solomon's, much amazed. And Peter, having seen, answered to the people, men, Israelites, why wonder ye at this? or why look ye intently at us, as by our own power or devotion having made him to walk?
