John 5:30-38

³⁰Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

³¹If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

³²There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

³³You sent to John and he gave true witness.

³⁴But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

³⁵He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

³⁶But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

³⁷And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

³⁸And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.
