41 If
I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
42 There
is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he
witnesseth of me is true.
43 Ye
sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
44 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be
saved.
45 He
was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice
in his light.
46 But
I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath
given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the
Father hath sent me.
47 And
the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have
neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
48 And
ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
49 Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they
which testify of me.
50 And
ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
51 I
receive not honour from men.
52 But
I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
53 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his own name, him ye will receive.
54 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the
honour that cometh from God only?
55 Do
not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you,
even Moses, in whom ye trust.
56 For
had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
57 But
if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
