31a“If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not1true.
32aThere is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
33You have sent to John, aand he has borne witness to the truth.
34Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.
35He was the burning and ashining lamp, and byou were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
36But 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.
37And the Father Himself, who sent Me, ahas testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, bnor seen His form.
38But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

John 5:31-36
In John 5:36, if we lead right up to this, Jesus is going to show you something about what the witness is that He Himself will put stock in—as to whether or not what He is doing is the work of the Messiah.
He is saying, "What I am doing proves that I am the Messiah." What did He just do? He just healed somebody. What did He just do? He just redeemed somebody from bondage to an illness. He just saved somebody from the bondage of uselessness. He just gave to somebody the liberty of having great hope. He just delivered somebody out of their discouragement. That kind of work is the work of salvation.
