Witness » God the father giving witness to jesus Christ
For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty. For, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory - My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight, Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
And Peter, answering, said unto Jesus - Lord! it is, delightful, for us, to be here, - If thou wilt, I will make here three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one. While yet he was speaking, lo! a brightly shining cloud, overshadowed them, and lo! a voice, out of the cloud, saying - This, is, my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight, - Be hearkening to him.
And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus - Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, - let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one; for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become. And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, - This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
And it came to pass, when they were being parted from him, Peter said unto Jesus - Master! it is, delightful, for us to be, here: Let us, therefore, make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: - not knowing what he said. Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud. And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying - This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.
Ye men of Israel! hear these words: - Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,
That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live. read more.
For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself; And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, - because, Son of Man, is he! Do not be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto his voice, and shall come forth, - they who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a resurrection, of judgment. I, cannot be doing, of myself, a single thing, - Just as I hear, I judge; and, my judging, is, just, - because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If, I, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true. Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, - and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me. Ye, have sent forth unto John, - and he hath borne witness to the truth: - I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, may be saved: - He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, in his light. But, I, have, as my witness, something greater than John's; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them, - the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning me, that, the Father, hath sent me. And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen; And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding - because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not.

The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him - Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true. Jesus answered, and said unto them - Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go. Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one. read more.
And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, - because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me; And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men's witness, is, true: I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.

Jesus answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, - and, I, know, them, and they follow me, - read more.
And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - I and the Father, are, one. The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. Jesus answered them - Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God. Jesus answered them - Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods? If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came - and the Scripture cannot be broken - Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying - Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me; But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, - that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father.

But, Jesus, answereth them, saying - The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified! Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth. He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. read more.
If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him. Now, is my soul troubled, - and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name! There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven - I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again. So, the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying - It hath, thundered. Others, were saying - A messenger, unto him, hath spoken. Jesus answered, and said - Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.

And who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God? This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, - and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth. Because, three, are they who are bearing witness - read more.

This third time, am I coming unto you: - at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter be established.
Whosoever taketh away life, at the mouth of witnesses, shall, the slayer be slain, - but, one witness, shall not testify against a person, to put him to death.
At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death, - he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
Any one having set aside a law of Moses, apart from compassions, upon the testimony of two or three witnesses, dieth:
One witness I shall not rise up, against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, with regard to any sin that he may commit, - at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, must a matter be establish. When there shall rise up a wrongful witness against a man, - to answer against him perversely, then shall the two men who are at variance stand before Yahweh, - before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days; read more.
and the judges shall make diligent inquisition, - and lo! if the witness be, a false witness and, falsely, have answered against his brother, then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to de unto his brother, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst; and, they who remain shall hear and fear, - and not go on to do again according to this wicked thing, in thy midst: neither shall thine eye pity, - life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him - Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true. Jesus answered, and said unto them - Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go. Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one. read more.

They were saying unto him, therefore - Where, is thy father? Jesus answered - Neither, me, do ye know, nor yet my Father: If, me, ye had known, my Father also, had ye known.
