Witnesses to Jesus

³⁰ “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.^(D)

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.^{(E) 32} There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony to me is true.^{(F) 33} You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.^{(G) 34} Not that I accept such human testimony, but I say these things so that you may be saved. ³⁵ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.^{(H) 36} But I have a testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me.^{(I) 37} And the Father who sent me has himself testified on my behalf. You have never heard his voice or seen his form,^{(J) 38} and you do not have his word abiding in you, because you do not believe him whom he has sent.^(K)

³⁹ “You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that testify on my behalf.^{(L) 40} Yet you refuse to come to me to have life. ⁴¹ I do not accept glory from humans. ⁴² But I know that you do not have the love of God in^[a] you. ⁴³ I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. ⁴⁴ How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?^{[b](M) 45} Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.^{(N) 46} If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.^{(O) 47} But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
