Testimonies About Jesus

³¹ “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.^{(A) 32} There is another who testifies in my favor,^(B) and I know that his testimony about me is true.

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) 40} yet you refuse to come to me^(R) to have life.

³⁷ Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.^{(A) 38} But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”^{(B) 39} Again they tried to seize him,^(C) but he escaped their grasp.^(D)

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.^(A) You believe^(B) in God^[a];^(C) believe also in me. ² My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there^(D) to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back^(E) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.^{(F) 4} You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

⁵ Thomas^(G) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus answered, “I am^(H) the way^(I) and the truth^(J) and the life.^(K) No one comes to the Father except through me.^{(L) 7} If you really know me, you will know^[b] my Father as well.^(M) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

⁸ Philip^(N) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

⁹ Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.^(O) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?^(P) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.^(Q) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. ¹¹ Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.^(R)
