John 5:31-47
New King James Version
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. 39 (K)You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and (L)these are they which testify of Me. 40 (M)But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 (N)“I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 (O)How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek (P)the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; (Q)there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; (R)for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you (S)do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 5:31-47
1894 Scrivener New Testament
31 εαν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου η μαρτυρια μου ουκ εστιν αληθης
32 αλλος εστιν ο μαρτυρων περι εμου και οιδα οτι αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια ην μαρτυρει περι εμου
33 υμεις απεσταλκατε προς ιωαννην και μεμαρτυρηκεν τη αληθεια
34 εγω δε ου παρα ανθρωπου την μαρτυριαν λαμβανω αλλα ταυτα λεγω ινα υμεις σωθητε
35 εκεινος ην ο λυχνος ο καιομενος και φαινων υμεις δε ηθελησατε αγαλλιασθηναι προς ωραν εν τω φωτι αυτου
36 εγω δε εχω την μαρτυριαν μειζω του ιωαννου τα γαρ εργα α εδωκεν μοι ο πατηρ ινα τελειωσω αυτα αυτα τα εργα α εγω ποιω μαρτυρει περι εμου οτι ο πατηρ με απεσταλκεν
37 και ο πεμψας με πατηρ αυτος μεμαρτυρηκεν περι εμου ουτε φωνην αυτου ακηκοατε πωποτε ουτε ειδος αυτου εωρακατε
38 και τον λογον αυτου ουκ εχετε μενοντα εν υμιν οτι ον απεστειλεν εκεινος τουτω υμεις ου πιστευετε
39 ερευνατε τας γραφας οτι υμεις δοκειτε εν αυταις ζωην αιωνιον εχειν και εκειναι εισιν αι μαρτυρουσαι περι εμου
40 και ου θελετε ελθειν προς με ινα ζωην εχητε
41 δοξαν παρα ανθρωπων ου λαμβανω
42 αλλ εγνωκα υμας οτι την αγαπην του θεου ουκ εχετε εν εαυτοις
43 εγω εληλυθα εν τω ονοματι του πατρος μου και ου λαμβανετε με εαν αλλος ελθη εν τω ονοματι τω ιδιω εκεινον ληψεσθε
44 πως δυνασθε υμεις πιστευσαι δοξαν παρα αλληλων λαμβανοντες και την δοξαν την παρα του μονου θεου ου ζητειτε
45 μη δοκειτε οτι εγω κατηγορησω υμων προς τον πατερα εστιν ο κατηγορων υμων μωσης εις ον υμεις ηλπικατε
46 ει γαρ επιστευετε μωση επιστευετε αν εμοι περι γαρ εμου εκεινος εγραψεν
47 ει δε τοις εκεινου γραμμασιν ου πιστευετε πως τοις εμοις ρημασιν πιστευσετε

John 5:31-47
Young's Literal Translation
31 `If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;
32 another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33 ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34 `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;
35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.
36 `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
38 and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
39 `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;
40 and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41 glory from man I do not receive,
42 but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
43 `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;
44 how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
45 `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped;
46 for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
