John 5:31-38

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 5:31-38

31If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
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.
— John 5:31-38
