Gospel John 5:31-47

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

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

• 33You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.

• 34But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.

• 35He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.

• 36But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.

• 37And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.

• 38And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.

• 39Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.

• 40And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.

• 41I do not accept glory from men.

• 42But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

• 43I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.

• 44How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?

• 45Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope.

• 46For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me.

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