    Open

    31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

    32¶ There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

    33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

    34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

    35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

    36¶ 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.

    37And 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.

    38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

    39¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

    40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

    41I receive not honour from men.

    42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

    43I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

    44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

    45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

    46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

    47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
