John 5:30-39

English Standard Version

Witnesses to Jesus

^30 (A)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and ^(B)my judgment is just, because ^(C)I seek not my own will ^(D)but the will of him who sent me. ^31 (E)If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. ³² There is ^(F)another who bears witness about me, and ^(G)I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. ^33 (H)You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. ³⁴ Not that ^(I)the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. ³⁵ He was a burning and ^(J)shining lamp, and ^(K)you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. ³⁶ But ^(L)the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For ^(M)the works that the Father has given me ^(N)to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, ^(O)bear witness about me that ^(P)the Father has sent me. ³⁷ And the Father who sent me ^(Q)has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, ^(R)his form you have never seen, ³⁸ and ^(S)you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. ^39 (T)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and ^(U)it is they that bear witness about me,
