John 5:36-41 in English

³⁶ But 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ I receive not glory from men.

³⁶ I have a greater testimony than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to finish — the very works that I do — testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ The Father Himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

³⁸ You don’t have His words dwelling in you, because you don’t believe the One who He sent.

³⁹ You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these testify about me.

⁴⁰ Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

⁴¹ “I don’t accept glory from men,

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

³⁶ But there is something else that tells you about me. It should prove who I am more than what John said about me. The miracles PRS that my Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.

³⁷ Furthermore, my Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.

³⁸ Furthermore, you have not believed in me, the one he sent. So you have not believed his message in your inner beings.

³⁹ You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by studying them you will find the way to have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me!

⁴⁰ But you refuse ◄to come to me/to believe my message► in order that you may have eternal life.

⁴¹ It does not matter to me whether people praise me.

³⁶ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

³⁶ But 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.

³⁷ And 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.

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

³⁹ You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

⁴⁰ And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.

⁴¹ I do not take honour from men;

³⁶ But 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.

³⁷ And 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,

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

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

³⁷ “Further, the Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have neither heard His voice nor seen His form at any time.

³⁸ Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe on the very one whom He sent.

³⁹ You examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life, yet they are the very ones that testify about me.

⁴⁰ But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

⁴¹ “I do not accept glory from people.

³⁶ But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,

³⁷ and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,

³⁸ and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.

³⁹ You search the Scriptures because you think that through them you'll gain eternal life. But the evidence they give is in support of me!

⁴⁰ And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.

⁴¹ I'm not looking for human approval

³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.

³⁸ And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.

³⁷ The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;

³⁸ and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.

³⁹ You search the scriptures, because you think that you find in them immortal life; and, though it is those scriptures that bear testimony to me,
