John 5:31-38
King James Version
John 5:31-38
King James Version
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

The Fourfold Witness
31 (A)“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [a]true. 32 (B)There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, (C)and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and (D)shining lamp, and (E)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But (F)I have a greater witness than John’s; for (G)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very (H)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, (I)has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, (J)nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
