Witness » God the father giving witness to jesus Christ
for, the information we gave you of the powerful advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, did not proceed from any artfully contriv'd fables, we our selves having been spectators of his majesty. for he received this honourable and glorious testimony from his father, when the voice broke out from the magnificent splendor, in these words, "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." we our selves heard this voice, that came from heaven, when we were with him upon the holy mountain.
then Peter address'd himself to Jesus, Lord, said he, it is good for us to stay here: if you please, let us make three tabernacles here; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias. while he was speaking, a bright cloud surrounded them: and suddenly a voice broke out of the cloud, saying, "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."

that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. he that honoureth not the son, honoureth not the father who hath sent him.

I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live. read more.
for as the father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the son, to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the son of man. let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good, shall rise to the possession of life; and they that have done evil, shall rise to their condemnation. Of my self I can do nothing: according to my instructions I judge: and my judgment is just; because I do not consult my own will, but the will of the father who hath sent me. if I testified of my self, my testimony would be suspected. there is another who testifies of me, and I know that the testimony which he gives of me, is true. you yourselves sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth. not that I need the testimony of men: but this I tell you, for your own security. he was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing to be entertain'd for a while with his light. but I have a better witness than that of John: for the works which my father hath order'd me to finish, those very works that I do, bear me witness, that 'tis the father who sent me. and the father who sent me, hath himself born witness of me. his voice you have never heard, nor ever seen his appearance, nor will his Logos abide among you: for tho' he hath sent him, you do not believe him.

the Pharisees therefore said to him, you give a testimony of your self, your testimony is not valid.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye did not believe me: the works that I do in my father's name, they testify of me. but, as I said before, you do not believe; because ye are not of my sheep. my sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. read more.
it is I that give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any one force them out of my hand. my father who gave them me, is greater than all: so that no one is able to force them out of my father's hand. I and my father are one. then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from my father; for which of those works would you stone me? the Jews answered him, saying, it is not for any good work that we stone thee; but for blasphemy, inasmuch as you, being a man, pretend to be a God. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, "I said ye are Gods?" if the law stiles them Gods, who received the orders of God, and if the scripture is of any authortiy, how can you say that I blaspheme, I whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, because I said I am the son of God? if I do not the works of my father, believe me not. but if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him.

but Jesus answered them, saying, the time is come, when the son of man is to be glorified. verily, verily I say unto you, when a corn of wheat is thrown into the ground, there it lies a single grain unless it dies: but if it die, it becomes very fruitful. he that loveth his life, shall lose it: but he that sacrifices his life in this world, shall preserve it to eternity. read more.
if any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: whoever serves me, him will my father reward. "Now is my soul troubled; what! shall I say, father, save me from this concern? but for this cause am I come, even for this very concern. father, glorify thy name." then there came this voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." the people therefore present who heard the noise, said it was thunder: others said, an angel spake to him. Jesus said, this voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

There are three witnesses in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three testify the same thing. read more.
so that there are three witnesses, the spirit, the water, and the blood: and these three testify the same thing. if we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: now this is the testimony, which God has given us of his son.
