d. The Son’s Fourfold Testimony
- If I testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not true.
- There is another who testifies concerning Me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning Me is true.
- You have sent people to John, and he has testified to the truth.
- But it is not from man that I receive My testimony, but I say these things that you may be saved.
- He was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to exult for a while in his light.
- But I have the testimony which is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father has given Me to finish, the works themselves which I do, testify concerning Me that the Father has sent Me.
- And the Father who sent Me, He has testified concerning Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His form,
- And you do not have His word abiding in you, for Him whom He sent, this One you do not believe.
- You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that testify concerning Me.
- Yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
- I do not receive glory from men.
- But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
- I have come in the name of My Father, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
- How can you believe when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that is from the only God?
- Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; there is one who accuses you: Moses, in whom you have set your hope.
- For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote concerning Me.
- But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?
