John 5:30-35

New Century Version

Jesus Is God’s Son

³⁰ “I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told, so my judgment is fair. I don’t try to please myself, but I try to please the One who sent me.

³¹ “If only I tell people about myself, what I say is not true. ³² But there is another who tells about me, and I know that the things he says about me are true.

³³ “You have sent people to John, and he has told you the truth. ³⁴ It is not that I need what humans say; I tell you this so you can be saved. ³⁵ John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
