Compare all
34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35 He was the burning and ashining lamp, and byou were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.  
36 But aI have a greater witness than John’s; for bthe works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very cworks that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.  
37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, ahas testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, bnor seen His form.  
38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
39 aYou search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and bthese are they which testify of Me.  
40 aBut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

John 5:36

But I have greater witness - However decisive the judgment of such a man as John may be, who was the lamp of Israel, a miracle of grace, filled with the spirit of Elijah, and more than any prophet, because he pointed out, not the Messiah who was to come, but the Messiah who was already come: nevertheless, I am not obliged to depend on his testimony alone; for I have a greater one, that of Him whom you acknowledge to be your God. And how do I Proverbs that this God bears testimony to me? By my works: these miracles, which attest my mission, and Proverbs by themselves that nothing less than unlimited power and boundless love could ever produce them. By my word only, I have perfectly and instantly healed a man who was diseased thirty and eight years. Ye see the miracle - the man is before you whole and sound. Why then do ye not believe in my mission, that ye may embrace my doctrine, and be saved?
