John:5:31-47
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
If I testify about myself ,
my witness is not valid .
*
It is another who testifies about me .
I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true .
*
You have sent to John ,
and he has testified to the truth .
*
But the testimony which I receive is not from man .
However ,
I say these things that you may be saved .
*
He was the burning and shining lamp ,
and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light .
*
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John ,
for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish ,
the very works that I do ,
testify about me ,
that the Father has sent me .
*
The Father himself ,
who sent me ,
has testified about me .
You have neither heard his voice at any time ,
nor seen his form .
*
You don '
t have his word living in you ;
because you don '
t believe him whom he sent .
* "
You search the Scriptures ,
because you think that in them you have eternal life ;
and these are they which testify about me .
*
Yet you will not come to me ,
that you may have life .
*
I don '
t receive glory from men .
*
But I know you ,
that you don '
t have God '
s love in yourselves .
*
I have come in my Father '
s name ,
and you don '
t receive me .
If another comes in his own name ,
you will receive him .
*
How can you believe ,
who receive glory from one another ,
and you don '
t seek the glory that comes from the only God ?
* "
Don '
t think that I will accuse you to the Father .
There is one who accuses you ,
even Moses ,
on whom you have set your hope .
*
For if you believed Moses ,
you would believe me ;
for he wrote about me .
*
But if you don '
t believe his writings ,
how will you believe my words ?"
