John 5:30-47
New American Standard Bible
30 “(A)I can do nothing [a]on My own. As I hear, I judge; and (B)My judgment is [b]righteous, because I do not seek My own will but (C)the will of Him who sent Me.
31 “(D)If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not [c]true. 32 There is (E)another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.
Testimony of John the Baptist
33 You have sent messengers to John, and he (F)has testified to the truth. 34 But (G)the testimony I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was (H)the lamp that was burning and shining, and you (I)were willing to rejoice for [d]a while in his light.
Testimony of Works
36 But the testimony I have is greater than the testimony of John; for (J)the works which the Father has given Me (K)to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father (L)has sent Me.
Testimony of the Father
37 And the Father who sent Me, (M)He has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 Also you do not have (N)His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He (O)sent.
Testimony of the Scripture
39 [e](P)You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is (Q)those very Scriptures that testify about Me; 40 and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 (R)I do not receive glory from people; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not [f]receive Me; (S)if another comes in his own name, you will [g]receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you [h](T)accept [i]glory from one another and you do not seek (U)the [j]glory that is from (V)the one and only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is (W)Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for (X)he wrote about Me. 47 But (Y)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Testimonies About Jesus
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.(D) 32 There is another who testifies in my favor,(E) and I know that his testimony about me is true.
33 “You have sent to John and he has testified(F) to the truth. 34 Not that I accept human testimony;(G) but I mention it that you may be saved.(H) 35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light,(I) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John.(J) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing(K)—testify that the Father has sent me.(L) 37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.(M) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,(N) 38 nor does his word dwell in you,(O) for you do not believe(P) the one he sent.(Q) 39 You study[a] the Scriptures(R) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.(S) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,(T) 40 yet you refuse to come to me(U) to have life.
41 “I do not accept glory from human beings,(V) 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[b]?(W)
45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(X) on whom your hopes are set.(Y) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(Z) 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”(AA)
