I receive not honor from men;
Receiving » Who did not receive jesus Christ
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made. read more.
In him is life; and the life was the light of men. And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not. There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe. He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light. The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own received him not.

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him. Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life. Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live. read more.
For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself. And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation. I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth. But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved. He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life. I receive not honor from men; but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself. And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me. Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day,
Witness » Who is a witness of the lord
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life, and the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us, that which we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross; him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. read more.
And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.

Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached, relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered by the Devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew by hanging him on a cross. read more.
Him God raised up on the third day, and caused him to be manifested, not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to ourselves, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead; and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall receive forgiveness of sins.

There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe. He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light. read more.
The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God,to those who believed in his name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father. John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.

that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.

They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel? But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority. But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth. read more.
And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel, who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.

And as he held fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomons greatly wondering. But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. read more.

Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust; even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge selfcontrol, and to selfcontrol endurance, and to endurance godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall. For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you. Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me. Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eyewitnesses of his majesty.
