5:31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. 5:32 There is another ¹  who testifies about me, and I know the testimony he testifies about me is true. 5:33 You have sent to John, ²  and he has testified to the truth. 5:34 (I do not accept ³  human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.) 5:35 He was a lamp that was burning and shining, ⁴  and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time ⁵  in his light.

5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds ⁶  that the Father has assigned me to complete – the deeds ⁷  I am now doing – testify about me that the Father has sent me. 5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people ⁸  have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, ⁹  5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent. 5:39 You study the scriptures thoroughly ¹⁰  because you think in them you possess eternal life, ¹¹  and it is these same scriptures ¹²  that testify about me, 5:40 but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
