John:5:31-47
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ?
