John 5:31-40

New American Standard Bible

³¹“^(A)If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not ^[a]true. ³²There is ^(B)another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

Testimony of John the Baptist

³³You have sent messengers to John, and he ^(C)has testified to the truth. ³⁴But ^(D)the testimony I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. ³⁵He was ^(E)the lamp that was burning and shining, and you ^(F)were willing to rejoice for ^[b]a while in his light.

Testimony of Works

³⁶But the testimony I have is greater than the testimony of John; for ^(G)the works which the Father has given Me ^(H)to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father ^(I)has sent Me.

Testimony of the Father

³⁷And the Father who sent Me, ^(J)He has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. ³⁸Also you do not have ^(K)His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He ^(L)sent.

Testimony of the Scripture

³⁹^[c]^(M)You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is ^(N)those very Scriptures that testify about Me; ⁴⁰and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.
