John 5:30-47

30“1I canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756 G3762 on My ownG1683 initiativeG1683. As I hearG191, I judgeG2919; and 2My judgmentG2920 is justG1342, becauseG3754 I do not seekG2212 My ownG1699 willG2307, but 3the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me.

31“4IfG1437 I alone testifyG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, My testimonyG3141 is not 5trueG227. 32There is 6anotherG243 who testifiesG3140 of Me, and I knowG3609 that the testimonyG3141 whichG3739 He givesG3140 aboutG4012 Me is trueG227. 33You have sentG649 to JohnG2491, and he 7has testifiedG3140 to the truthG225. 34But 8the testimonyG3141 which I receiveG2983 is not from manG444, but I sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778 soG2443 that you may be savedG4982. 35He was 9the lampG3088 that was burningG2545 and was shiningG5316 and you 10were willingG2309 to rejoiceG21 for 11a whileG5610 in his lightG5457. 36But the testimonyG3141 which I haveG2192 is greaterG3173 than the testimony of JohnG2491; for 12the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 Me 13to accomplishG5048--the veryG846 worksG2041 that I doG4160--testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me, that the FatherG3962 14has sentG649 Me. 37And the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me, 15He has testifiedG3140 of Me. You have neitherG3777 heardG191 His voiceG5456 at anyG4455 timeG4455 norG3777 seenG3708 His formG1491. 38You do not haveG2192 16His wordG3056 abidingG3306 in you, for you do not believeG4100 Him whomG3739 He 17sentG649. 39 18 19You searchG2045 the ScripturesG1124 becauseG3754 you thinkG1380 that in them you haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; it is 20theseG1565 that testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me; 40and you are unwillingG3756 G2309 to comeG2064 to Me soG2443 that you may haveG2192 lifeG2222. 41 21I do not receiveG2983 gloryG1391 from menG444; 42but I knowG1097 you, that you do not haveG2192 the loveG26 of GodG2316 in yourselvesG1438. 43I have comeG2064 in My Father’sG3962 nameG3686, and you do not receiveG2983 Me; 22ifG1437 anotherG243 comesG2064 in his ownG2398 nameG3686, you will receiveG2983 him. 44HowG4459 canG1410 you believeG4100, when you 23receiveG2983 24gloryG1391 from oneG240 anotherG240 and you do not seekG2212 25the 26gloryG1391 that is from 27the one and onlyG3441 GodG2316? 45Do not thinkG1380 that I will accuseG2723 you beforeG4314 the FatherG3962; the one who accusesG2723 you is 28MosesG3475, in whomG3739 you have setG1679 your hopeG1679. 46For ifG1487 you believedG4100 MosesG3475, you would believeG4100 Me, for 29he wroteG1125 aboutG4012 Me. 47But 30ifG1487 you do not believeG4100 his writingsG1121, howG4459 will you believeG4100 My wordsG4487?”
