John 5:31-40

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

32There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.

33You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.

34I don’t receive human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35John was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about me that the Father has sent me.

37The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have not heard his voice at any time, and you haven’t seen his form.

38You don’t have his word residing in you, because you don’t believe the one he sent.

39You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.

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