約翰福音 5
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
醫好三十八年之病者
5 這事以後,到了猶太人的一個節期,耶穌就上耶路撒冷去。
2 在耶路撒冷,靠近羊門有一個池子,希伯來話叫做畢士大,旁邊有五個廊子, 3 裡面躺著瞎眼的、瘸腿的、血氣枯乾的許多病人[a]。 5 在那裡有一個人,病了三十八年。 6 耶穌看見他躺著,知道他病了許久,就問他說:「你要痊癒嗎?」 7 病人回答說:「先生,水動的時候,沒有人把我放在池子裡,我正去的時候,就有別人比我先下去。」 8 耶穌對他說:「起來,拿你的褥子走吧!」 9 那人立刻痊癒,就拿起褥子來走了。
猶太人責耶穌犯安息日
10 那天是安息日,所以猶太人對那醫好的人說:「今天是安息日,你拿褥子是不可的!」 11 他卻回答說:「那使我痊癒的對我說『拿你的褥子走吧』。」 12 他們問他說:「對你說『拿褥子走』的是什麼人?」 13 那醫好的人不知道是誰,因為那裡的人多,耶穌已經躲開了。 14 後來耶穌在殿裡遇見他,對他說:「你已經痊癒了,不要再犯罪,恐怕你遭遇的更加厲害。」 15 那人就去告訴猶太人,使他痊癒的是耶穌。 16 所以猶太人逼迫耶穌,因為他在安息日做了這事。 17 耶穌就對他們說:「我父做事直到如今,我也做事。」 18 所以猶太人越發想要殺他,因他不但犯了安息日,並且稱神為他的父,將自己和神當做平等。
尊敬子如尊敬父
19 耶穌對他們說:「我實實在在地告訴你們:子憑著自己不能做什麼,唯有看見父所做的,子才能做;父所做的事,子也照樣做。 20 父愛子,將自己所做的一切事指給他看,還要將比這更大的事指給他看,叫你們稀奇。 21 父怎樣叫死人起來,使他們活著,子也照樣隨自己的意思使人活著。 22 父不審判什麼人,乃將審判的事全交於子, 23 叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的,就是不尊敬差子來的父。 24 我實實在在地告訴你們:那聽我話又信差我來者的,就有永生,不至於定罪,是已經出死入生了。 25 我實實在在地告訴你們:時候將到,現在就是了,死人要聽見神兒子的聲音,聽見的人就要活了。 26 因為父怎樣在自己有生命,就賜給他兒子也照樣在自己有生命, 27 並且因為他是人子,就賜給他行審判的權柄。 28 你們不要把這事看做稀奇。時候要到,凡在墳墓裡的,都要聽見他的聲音,就出來, 29 行善的復活得生,作惡的復活定罪。
30 「我憑著自己不能做什麼,我怎麼聽見就怎麼審判。我的審判也是公平的,因為我不求自己的意思,只求那差我來者的意思。 31 我若為自己作見證,我的見證就不真。 32 另有一位給我作見證,我也知道他給我作的見證是真的。 33 你們曾差人到約翰那裡,他為真理作過見證。 34 其實我所受的見證不是從人來的,然而我說這些話,為要叫你們得救。 35 約翰是點著的明燈,你們情願暫時喜歡他的光。 36 但我有比約翰更大的見證,因為父交給我要我成就的事,就是我所做的事,這便見證我是父所差來的。 37 差我來的父也為我作過見證。你們從來沒有聽見他的聲音,也沒有看見他的形象。 38 你們並沒有他的道存在心裡,因為他所差來的,你們不信。
聖經為耶穌的證據
39 「你們查考聖經[b],因你們以為內中有永生。給我作見證的就是這經, 40 然而你們不肯到我這裡來得生命。 41 我不受從人來的榮耀。 42 但我知道,你們心裡沒有神的愛。 43 我奉我父的名來,你們並不接待我;若有別人奉自己的名來,你們倒要接待他。 44 你們互相受榮耀,卻不求從獨一之神來的榮耀,怎能信我呢?
不信摩西怎能信主
45 「不要想我在父面前要告你們,有一位告你們的,就是你們所仰賴的摩西。 46 你們如果信摩西,也必信我,因為他書上有指著我寫的話。 47 你們若不信他的書,怎能信我的話呢?」
John 5
King James Version
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
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.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Curyaankii War Beytesda Ag Joogay
5 Waxaas dabadeed waxaa jirtay iiddii Yuhuudda, oo Ciise ayaa Yeruusaalem u kacay. 2 Waxaa Yeruusaalem jirtay, Albaabka Idaha agtiisa, war biyo ah oo af Cibraani lagu yidhaahda Beytesda oo leh shan balbaladood. 3 Meelahaas waxaa jiifay dad badan oo buka oo indha la' oo laxaad la' oo curyaan ah. Waxay sugayeen biyuhu inay dhaqaaqaan. 4 Maxaa yeelay, malaa'igta Rabbiga ayaa marmar warta ku soo degi jirtay oo biyaha qasi jirtay; oo kii ugu hor galay biyihii markii la qasay dabadeed wuu ka bogsaday cudur kastuu qabay. 5 Oo waxaa meeshaas joogay nin siddeed iyo soddon sannadood bukay. 6 Markii Ciise arkay isagoo jiifa, oo gartay inuu wakhti dheer bukay, wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma doonaysaa inaad bogsato? 7 Ninkii bukay wuxuu u jawaabay, oo ku yidhi, Sayidow, nin ma lihi inuu warta igu rido markii biyaha la qaso, laakiin markaan imaado, mid kale ayaa iga hor gala. 8 Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Kac oo sariirtaada qaado oo soco. 9 Markiiba ninkii waa bogsaday, wuuna qaatay sariirtiisii oo socday.
Maalintaas waxay ahayd sabtidii. 10 Sidaas daraaddeed Yuhuuddu waxay kii la bogsiiyey ku yidhaahdeen, Waa sabti, oo xalaal kuuma aha inaad sariirtaada qaadatid. 11 Laakiin wuu u jawaabay, oo ku yidhi, Kii i bogsiiyey ayaa igu yidhi, Sariirtaada qaado oo soco. 12 Oo waxay weyddiiyeen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Yuu yahay ninkii kugu yidhi, Sariirtaada qaado oo soco? 13 Kii la bogsiiyeyse ma uu oqoonin kuu ahaa, waayo, Ciise waa tegey, maxaa yeelay, dad badan ayaa meeshaas joogay.
14 Waxaas dabadeed Ciise wuxuu isaga ka helay macbudka oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waad bogsatay, mar dambe ha dembaabin inaan wax ka sii xumi kugu dhicin. 15 Markaasaa ninkii tegey, wuuna u sheegay Yuhuuddii inuu ninkii bogsiiyey Ciise ahaa. 16 Sidaa aawadeed Yuhuuddu Ciise way silciyeen, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu waxyaalahaas sameeyey sabtidii. 17 Laakiin Ciise wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Aabbahay tan iyo imminka ayuu shaqeeyaa, aniguna waa shaqeeyaa. 18 Sidaa aawadeed ayaa Yuhuuddu aad u sii dooneen inay dilaan, sababtu ma ahayn sabtidii uu jebiyey keliya, laakiin waxay ahayd inuu Ilaah ugu yeedhay Aabbihiis, iyo inuu isagu Ilaah iskala mid dhigay.
Ciise Wuxuu Caddeeyey Inuu Aabbihiis Isku Halleeyo
19 Haddaba Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Wiilku keli ahaantiis waxba ma samayn karo, wuxuu arko Aabbahoo samaynaya mooyaane. Wax kastoo isagu sameeyo ayaa Wiilkuna sidiisa u sameeyaa. 20 Waayo, Aabbuhu Wiilkuu jecel yahay, oo wuxuu tusaa wuxuu isagu sameeyo oo dhan, oo wuxuuna tusi doonaa shuqullo kuwan ka waaweyn inaad la yaabtaan. 21 Sida Aabbuhu kuwa dhintay u kiciyo oo u nooleeyo ayuu Wiilkuna sidaas oo kale u nooleeyaa kuwuu doonayo. 22 Aabbuhu ninna ma xukumo, laakiin xukunka oo dhan wuxuu siiyey Wiilka, 23 in dadka oo dhammu Wiilka maamuuso siday Aabbaha u maamuusaan. Kii aan Wiilka maamuusi, ma maamuuso Aabbaha soo diray.
24 Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kii ereygayga maqla oo rumaysta kii i soo diray, wuxuu leeyahay nolosha weligeed ah, xukunna geli maayo, laakiin dhimashadii ayuu ka soo gudbay oo nolosha u soo gudbay. 25 Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Saacaddu waa imanaysaa, waana joogtaa, markii kuwii dhintay codkii Wiilka Ilaah ay maqli doonaan, oo kuwa maqlaana way noolaan doonaan. 26 Sida Aabbuhu nolol isugu leeyahay, sidaasuu Wiilka u siiyey inuu nolol isugu lahaado. 27 Wuxuuna siiyey amar uu wax ku xukumo, maxaa yeelay, waa Wiilka Aadanaha. 28 Taas ha la yaabina, waayo, saacaddu waa imanaysaa markii kuwa xabaalaha ku jiraa dhammaantood ay codkiisa maqli doonaan, 29 wayna ka soo bixi doonaan, kuwa wanaagga falay ilaa sarakicidda nolosha, kuwa sharka falayna ilaa sarakicidda xukunka.
Maragga Ciise Loo Furo
30 Waxba keli ahaantayda ma samayn karo. Sidaan wax u maqlo ayaan u xukumaa, xukunkayguna waa xaq, waayo, doonistayda ma doono, waxaanse doonaa doonista kii i soo diray. 31 Haddaan isu marag furo, maraggaygu run ma aha. 32 Laakiin waxaa jira mid kale oo ii marag fura, waanan ogahay maragguu ii furaa inuu run yahay. 33 Waxaad cid u soo dirteen Yooxanaa, wuuna u marag furay runta. 34 Aniguse xagga dadka marag kama aan qaato, laakiin waxyaalahan waxaan u idhaahdaa inaad badbaaddaan. 35 Isagu wuxuu ahaa laambad baxaysa oo ifaysa, idinkuna waxaad doonayseen inaad saacad ku faraxdaan nuurkiisa. 36 Laakiin maraggaan leeyahay waa ka weyn yahay kii Yooxanaa, waayo, shuqullada Aabbuhu i siiyey inaan dhammeeyo waa kuwaan hadda samaynayo, wayna ii marag furayaan in Aabbuhu i soo diray. 37 Aabbihii i soo dirayna waa ii marag furay. Idinkuna codkiisa ma maqlin goornaba, mana aydnaan arkin muuqiisa. 38 Mana haysataan ereygiisa oo idinku sii jira, waayo, kii uu soo diray waad rumaysan weydeen. 39 Qorniinka ayaad baadhaan, waayo, waxaad u malaynaysaan inaad nolosha weligeed ah ka helaysaan, waana iyaga kuwa ii marag furayaa. 40 Idinkuna dooni maysaan inaad ii timaadaan inaad nolol lahaataan.
41 Anigu dadka ammaan kama qaato. 42 Laakiin waan idin aqaan inaan jacaylka Ilaah idinku jirin. 43 Waxaan ku imid Aabbahay magiciis, idinkuna waad i aqbali weydeen. Haddiise mid kale magiciisa ku yimaado, kaasaad aqbalaysaan. 44 Sidee baad u rumaysan kartaan, idinkoo dhexdiinna ammaan iska aqbalaya, oo aydnaan doonayn ammaanta ka timaada Ilaaha keligiis ah? 45 Ha u malaynina inaan Aabbaha idinku ashtakaynayo: kan idin ashtakaynayaa waa Muuse, kii aad isku hallayseen. 46 Waayo, haddaad Muuse rumaysateen, anigana waad i rumaysan lahaydeen, waayo, wax buu iga qoray. 47 Laakiin haddaydnan rumaysan wuxuu qoray, sidee baad u rumaysan doontaan ereyadayda?

New International Version
The Healing at the Pool
5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate(A) a pool, which in Aramaic(B) is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”(C) 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,(D) 10 and so the Jewish leaders(E) said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”(F)
11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning(G) or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders(H) that it was Jesus who had made him well.
The Authority of the Son
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(I) is always at his work(J) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(K) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(L)
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself;(M) he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son(N) and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these,(O) so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,(P) even so the Son gives life(Q) to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(R) 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.(S)
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(T) has eternal life(U) and will not be judged(V) but has crossed over from death to life.(W) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(X) when the dead will hear(Y) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life(Z) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(AA) because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(AB) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.(AC) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(AD) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(AE) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(AF)
Testimonies About Jesus
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.(AG) 32 There is another who testifies in my favor,(AH) and I know that his testimony about me is true.
33 “You have sent to John and he has testified(AI) to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony;(AJ) but I mention it that you may be saved.(AK) 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light,(AL) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(AM) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(AN)—testify that the Father has sent me.(AO) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(AP) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(AQ) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(AR) for you do not believe(AS) the one he sent.(AT) 39 You study[c] the Scriptures(AU) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(AV) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(AW) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(AX) to have life.
41 “I do not accept glory from human beings,(AY) 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God[d]?(AZ)
45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(BA) on whom your hopes are set.(BB) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(BC) 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”(BD)

New King James Version
A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda
5 After (A)this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus (B)went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem (C)by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, [a]Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, [b]paralyzed, [c]waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, (D)“Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
And (E)that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; (F)it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”
12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was (G)healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. (H)Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Honor the Father and the Son
16 For this reason the Jews (I)persecuted Jesus, [d]and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, (J)“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
18 Therefore the Jews (K)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, (L)making Himself equal with God. 19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (M)the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For (N)the Father loves the Son, and (O)shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, (P)even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but (Q)has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. (R)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, (S)he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, (T)but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when (U)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For (V)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have (W)life in Himself, 27 and (X)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, (Y)because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will (Z)hear His voice 29 (AA)and come forth—(AB)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 (AC)I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because (AD)I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
The Fourfold Witness
31 (AE)“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [e]true. 32 (AF)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, (AG)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 (AH)shining lamp, and (AI)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But (AJ)I have a greater witness than John’s; for (AK)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very (AL)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, (AM)has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, (AN)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 (AO)You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and (AP)these are they which testify of Me. 40 (AQ)But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
41 (AR)“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 (AS)How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek (AT)the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; (AU)there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; (AV)for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you (AW)do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
