John 5:31

If I . . . witness of myself—standing alone, and setting up any separate interest.



John 5:30-32

of mine own self do nothing—that is, apart from the Father, or in any interest than My own. (See on John 5:19).

as I hear—that is, "My judgments are all anticipated in the bosom of My Father, to which I have immediate access, and by Me only responded to and reflected. They cannot therefore err, as I live for one end only, to carry into effect the will of Him that sent Me."
