We have heard that which was from the beginning. We have also seen it with our own eyes. We looked at it and touched it with our hands. It is the Word of life. The life was made known and we have seen and testify about it. We declare the life to you. It is the eternal life, which was with the Father and was shown to us. We declare to you what we have seen and heard. This way you may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ!

We who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead saw him. He commanded us to preach to the people. We testify that he was ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify that through his name whoever believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins.

God sent a man named John. (Malachi 3:1) He came to tell (witness) (testify) about the light and help people have faith. Not being the light he came to give a witness of it. read more.
The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah 49:6) The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him. He came to his own. They did not receive him! He gave the right to become children of God to all who received him. Even to those who believe in his name. They were born from God. It was not from blood, or the will of the flesh, or the will of man. The Word [Jesus] became flesh (a human being) and lived with us. We saw the glory of the only begotten son from the Father. He was full of loving-kindness and truth. John spoke about him and declared: He is the one I said would come after me. He is greater than I am because he lived before me.

All may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father that sent him. Truly, Truly I say to you, he who hears my word, and believes him that sent me, has everlasting life. He will not receive judgment for he has passed out of death into life. Truly I tell you, the hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear (listen) (understand) will live. read more.
The Son has life in himself just as the Father has life in himself. For the Father gave him life. And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Do not wonder about this for the hour is coming when everyone in the grave will hear his voice. They will return. Those who did good will have the resurrection of life. Those who did evil will receive the resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing by myself. So I hear and judge and my judgment is righteous. I do not seek my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I alone testify about myself, my testimony is not enough truth. There is another who testifies about me. I know that his evidence about me is true. You sent people to John the Baptist and he has witnessed about the truth. The testimony I receive is not from man. However I say these things that you may be saved. He was the lamp that burns and shines. You were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. The testimony I have is greater than that of John. The works I do are the works the Father gave me to accomplish. They testify that the Father has sent me. The Father who sent me testifies about me. You have not heard his voice nor seen him at any time. You do not have his word dwelling in you. This is because you do not believe in the person he has sent. You search (investigate) (study) the Scriptures because you think that in them you have everlasting life. These Scriptures testify about me. And yet you will not come to me that you may have life. I do not accept glory from men. I know that the love of God is not in you. I came in my Father's name and you did not receive me. If another came in his own name you would receive him. How can you believe? You seek praise and glory from one another? Why do you not seek the glory that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Moses on whom you have set your hope is a plaintiff against you. It is a fact! If you believed Moses you would believe me. He wrote about me! If you do not believe his writings how will you believe my words?

I will say to the north, 'Give them up,' and to the south, 'do not keep them. Bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the ends of the earth. Bring everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.' Bring the people who are blind but still have eyes, the people who are deaf but still have ears. All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled. Who among them could have revealed this? Who among them could have foretold this to us? They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right. Let the people hear them. Then they will say: 'It is the truth.' YOU ARE MY WITNESSES, DECLARES JEHOVAH!

I ALONE AM JEHOVAH, AND THERE IS NO SAVIOR BESIDES ME. I have revealed it to you. I have saved you, and I have announced it to you. There was no foreign god among you.

The beggar held on to Peter and John while all the people came to them at the place called Solomon's Colonnade. When Peter saw this he spoke to the people: You men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you look at us as though our own power or holiness made this man walk?

The two people involved must stand in Jehovah's presence, in front of the priests and judges who are serving at that time. read more.

Have no pity on him: Take a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.
