John
Jesus points to John the Baptist’s testimony, the works he does, the Father’s testimony, and the Scriptures (John 5:33–39). He also says Moses’s writings accuse those who reject him (John 5:45–47).
31"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35He was the lamp that burns and shines, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38You don`t have his word living in you; for whom he sent, him you don`t believe.
39You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
40Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41I don`t receive glory from men.
42But I know you, that you don`t have God`s love in yourselves.
43I have come in my Father`s name, and you don`t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don`t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45"Don`t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47But if you don`t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
