John 5:31-47

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

³²It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

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

³⁴But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

³⁵He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

³⁶But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

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

³⁹Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

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

⁴¹I receive not glory from men.

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

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 glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?

⁴⁵Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

⁴⁶For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

⁴⁷But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
