John 5:31-44
:31″If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. :32 There is Another Who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. :33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. :34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. :35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. :36 but I HAVE A GREATER WITNESS than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish - THE VERY WORKS THAT I DO - BEAR WITNESS of Me that the Father has sent Me. :37 And THE FATHER HIMSELF, Who sent Me, HAS TESTIFIED of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. :38 but you do not have His Word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. :39 You search THE SCRIPTURES, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which TESTIFY of Me. :40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. :41 I do not receive honor from men. :42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. :43 I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. :44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
