John:5:31-47
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If I witness concerning Myself ,
My witness is not true ;
*
it is Another that witnesses concerning Me ,
and I know that the witness which He witnesses concerning Me is true .
*
You have sent to John ,
and he has testified to the truth .
*
But I do not receive witness from man ,
but I say these things that you may be saved .
*
That one was the burning and shining lamp ,
and you were willing to exult in his light for an hour .
*
But I have the greater witness than John '
s ,
for the works which the Father has given Me ,
that I should finish them ,
the works which I do themselves witness concerning Me ,
that the Father has sent Me .
*
And the Father ,
He sending Me ,
has Himself borne witness concerning Me .
You have neither heard His voice at any time ,
nor have you seen His form .
*
And you do not have His word abiding in you ,
for the One whom that One sent ,
this One you do not believe .
*
You search the Scriptures ,
for you think in them you have everlasting life .
And they are the ones witnessing concerning Me .
*
And you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life .
*
I do not receive glory from men ;
*
but I have known you ,
that you do not have the love of God in yourselves .
*
I have come in the name of My Father ,
and you do not receive Me .
If another comes in his own name ,
you will receive that one .
*
How are you able to believe ,
you who receive glory from one another ,
and the glory which is from the only God you do not seek ?
*
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father ;
there is one accusing you ,
Moses ,
in whom you have hoped .
*
For if you were believing Moses ,
you would then believe Me ;
for that one wrote concerning Me .
*
But if you do not believe his writings ,
how will you believe My words ?
