Gospel: John 5:31-47

³¹ If I bear witness to myself, my testimony is not true;
³² there is another who bears witness to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is true.
³³ You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
³⁴ Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.
³⁵ He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
³⁶ But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has granted me to accomplish, these very works which I am doing, bear me witness that the Father has sent me.
³⁷ And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness to me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen;
³⁸ and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he has sent.
³⁹ You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
⁴⁰ yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
⁴¹ I do not receive glory from men.
⁴² But I know that you have not the love of God within you.
⁴³ I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
⁴⁴ How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
⁴⁵ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.
⁴⁶ If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.
⁴⁷ But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
