John 5:31-44

³¹If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.

³²There is another that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.

³³Ye sent to John, and he testified to the truth.

³⁴But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

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

³⁶But I have greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

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

³⁸And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

³⁹Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

⁴⁰And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

⁴¹I receive not honor 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 shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?
