³³ “You have sent to John and he has testified^(C) to the truth. ³⁴ Not that I accept human testimony;^(D) but I mention it that you may be saved.^{(E) 35} John was a lamp that burned and gave light,^(F) and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

³⁶ “I have testimony weightier than that of John.^(G) For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing^(H)—testify that the Father has sent me.^{(I) 37} And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me.^(J) You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,^{(K) 38} nor does his word dwell in you,^(L) for you do not believe^(M) the one he sent.^{(N) 39} You study^[a] the Scriptures^(O) diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life.^(P) These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,^(Q)

¹³ The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”^(A)

¹⁸ I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”^(A)

²⁵ Jesus answered, “I did tell you,^(A) but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,^(B)

The Work of the Holy Spirit

²⁶ “When the Advocate^(A) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father^(B)—the Spirit of truth^(C) who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.^{(D) 27} And you also must testify,^(E) for you have been with me from the beginning.^(F)

⁷ For there are three^(A) that testify: ⁸ the^[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
