- I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
- If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
- There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
- Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
- But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
|
- By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
- "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
- There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
- "You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
- Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.
|
- He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
- But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
- And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
- And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
- Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
|
- John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
- "I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.
- And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,
- nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.
- You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,
|
- And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
- I receive not honour from men.
- But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
- I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
- How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
|
- yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
- "I do not accept praise from men,
- but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.
- I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
- How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?
|
- Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
- For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
- But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
|
- "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
- If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
- But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"
