If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. You sent to (1) John, and he has borne witness to the truth. … He was a burning and shining lamp … But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For (2) the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. And (3) the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard … for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. You search (4) the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. … How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? ... There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed (5) Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?” John 5: 31-47 |
