'Testimony' in the Bible
This is John’s testimony when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.
He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.
There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.
I don’t receive man’s testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.
He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.
This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
