The Greater Witness
John :31 - 47
31 If I should bear witness of myself, my witness
were not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me,
and I know that the witness, which he beareth of
me, is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto
the truth.
34 But I receive not the record of man: nevertheless
these things I say, that ye might be saved. (a)
35 He was a burning and a shining candle: and
ye would for a season have rejoiced in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than the witness 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 sent me. (b)
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me,
beareth witness of me. Ye have not heard his voice
at any time, neither have ye seen his shape.
38 And his word have you not abiding in you: for
whom he hath sent, him ye believed not.
39 Search the Scriptures: for in them ye think
to have eternal life, and they are they which testify
of me. (c)
40 But ye will not come to me, that ye might
have life. (d)
41 I receive not the praise of men. (e)
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of
God in you. (f)
43 I am come in my Father’s Name, and ye receive
me not: if another shall come in his own name, him
will ye receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honor one
of another, and seek not the honor that cometh of
God alone?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to my
Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses,
in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye
believe my words (g)
