John:5:31-47
bwe@John:5:31 @ If I talk about myself, then what I say is not true.
bwe@John:5:32 @ But someone else also speaks about me. I know what he says about me is true.
bwe@John:5:33 @ You sent someone to John and he has told you the truth about me.
bwe@John:5:34 @ I do not need to listen to what a person says about me. But I tell you this so that you may be saved.
bwe@John:5:35 @ John was a light burning and shining. For a while you were happy to be in his light.
bwe@John:5:36 @ But I have something greater than John to talk for me. It is the works that I do. My Father has given me works to finish. The works that I do tell that he sent me.
bwe@John:5:37 @ And my Father who sent me has himself talked about me. You have never heard him speak and you do not know what he is like.
bwe@John:5:38 @ The word he talks is not in your hearts, because you do not believe the one he sent to you.
bwe@John:5:39 @ You read holy writings carefully. You think that there you will find out how to live for ever. In the same writings you will read about me.
bwe@John:5:40 @ And yet you will not come to me for that life.
bwe@John:5:41 @ I do not want people to call me great.
bwe@John:5:42 @ But I know that you do not love God in your hearts.
bwe@John:5:43 @ I have come in my Fathers name, but you will not receive me. If another person comes in his own name, then you will receive him.
bwe@John:5:44 @ How can you believe? You are always calling each other great, but you do not want the only God to make you great.
bwe@John:5:45 @ Do not think that I will carry a complaint against you to my Father. Moses has already carried the complaint against you. He is the very one you trust.
bwe@John:5:46 @ If you really believed Moses, you would believe me too, because he wrote about me.
bwe@John:5:47 @ But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?
