John 5:31-44

³¹If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

³²It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

³³Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

³⁴But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

³⁵He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁶But I have the witness that is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

³⁷And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

³⁸and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁹Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

⁴⁰and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

⁴¹I do not receive glory from men,

⁴²but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

⁴³I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which comes from God alone?
