The Scriptures Bear Witness

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

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

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

34But I do not receive testimony from man; rather, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35He was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a time in his light.

36But I have testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father has given me to complete—these very works that I am doing—testify about me that the Father has sent me.

37And the Father who sent me—that one has testified about me. You have neither ever heard his voice nor seen his form,

38And you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are the ones that testify about me.

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

41I do not receive glory from men,

42But I know you: you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

43I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another and not seeking the glory that is from the only God?

45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; there is one who accuses you: Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
