John 5:30-35
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.

International Standard Version
30 I can do nothing on my own accord. I judge according to what I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.”
Jesus’ Greater Testimony
31 “If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not trustworthy. 32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know[a] that the testimony he gives about me is true. 33 You have sent messengers[b] to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34 I myself do not accept human testimony, but I am saying these things so that you may be saved. 35 That man John[c] was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.
