John 5:30-47
30 “aI can do nothing from Myself. As I hear, I judge; and bMy judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but cthe will of Him who sent Me.
31 “aIf I alone bear witness about Myself, My witness is not true. 32 There is aanother who bears witness about Me, and I know that the witness which He gives about Me is true.
Witnesses to Jesus: The Father and the Scriptures
33 You have sent to John, and he ahas borne witness to the truth. 34 But athe witness I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was athe lamp that was burning and shining and you bwere willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the witness I have is greater than the witness of John; for athe works which the Father has given Me bto finish—the very works that I do—bear witness about Me, that the Father chas sent Me. 37 And the Father who sent Me, aHe has borne witness about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. 38 And you do not have aHis word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He bsent. 39 aYou search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is bthese that bear witness about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 aI do not receive glory from men; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; aif another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you areceive glory from one another and you do not seek bthe glory that is from cthe only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; the one who accuses you is aMoses, in whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for ahe wrote about Me. 47 But aif you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
