New Testament

John 5:30-45 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. I am not able to do anything of myself. As I hear, so do I judge. And my judgment is just. For I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

31. If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.

32. There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.

33. You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.

34. But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.

35. He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.

36. But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.

37. And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.

38. And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.

39. Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.

40. And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.

41. I do not accept glory from men.

42. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43. I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.

44. How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?

45. Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope.
