John 5:35-39

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 5:35-39

35John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish — the very works I am doing — testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
— John 5:35-39
