New Testament

John 5:31-40 Common English Bible (CEB)

31. “If I testify about myself, my testimony isn’t true.

32. There is someone else who testifies about me, and I know his testimony about me is true.

33. You sent a delegation to John, and he testified to the truth.

34. Although I don’t accept human testimony, I say these things so that you can be saved.

35. John was a burning and shining lamp, and, at least for a while, you were willing to celebrate in his light.

36. “I have a witness greater than John’s testimony. The Father has given me works to do so that I might complete them. These works I do testify about me that the Father sent me.

37. And the Father who sent me testifies about me. You have never even heard his voice or seen his form,

38. and you don’t have his word dwelling with you because you don’t believe the one whom he has sent.

39. Examine the scriptures, since you think that in them you have eternal life. They also testify about me,

40. yet you don’t want to come to me so that you can have life.
