John:5:31 @
If I gave witness about myself ,
my witness would not be true .
bbe @
John:5:32 @
There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true .
bbe @
John:5:33 @
You sent to John and he gave true witness .
bbe @
John:5:34 @
But I have no need of a man '
s witness :
I only say these things so that you may have salvation .
bbe @
John:5:35 @
He was a burning and shining light ,
and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light .
bbe @
John:5:36 @
But the witness which I have is greater than that of John :
the work which the Father has given me to do ,
the very work which I am now doing ,
is a witness that the Father has sent me .
bbe @
John:5:37 @
And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me .
Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice ;
his form you have not seen .
bbe @
John:5:38 @
And you have not kept his word in your hearts ,
because you have not faith in him whom he has sent .
bbe @
John:5:39 @
You make search in the holy Writings ,
in the belief that through them you get eternal life ;
and it is those Writings which give witness about me .
bbe @
John:5:40 @
And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life .
bbe @
John:5:41 @
I do not take honour from men ;
bbe @
John:5:42 @
But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts .
bbe @
John:5:43 @
I have come in my Father '
s name ,
and your hearts are not open to me .
If another comes with no other authority but himself ,
you will give him your approval .
bbe @
John:5:44 @
How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God ?
bbe @
John:5:45 @
Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father :
the one who says things against you is Moses ,
on whom you put your hopes .
bbe @
John:5:46 @
If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me ;
for his writings are about me .
bbe @
John:5:47 @
If you have no belief in his writings ,
how will you have belief in my words ?
