John 5:35-39

New International Version

³⁵ John was a lamp that burned and gave light,^(A) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

³⁶ “I have testimony weightier than that of John.^(B) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing^(C)—testify that the Father has sent me.^{(D) 37} And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.^(E) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,^{(F) 38} nor does his word dwell in you,^(G) for you do not believe^(H) the one he sent.^{(I) 39} You study^[a] the Scriptures^(J) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.^(K) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,^(L)
