John 5:38
Compare all
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.  
41 a“I do not receive honor from men.  
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

John 5:38

not his word abiding in you—passing now from the Witness to the testimony borne by Him in "the lively oracles" (Acts 7:38): both were alike strangers to their breasts, as was evidenced by their rejecting Him to whom all that witness was borne.



John 5:36-38

I have greater witness—rather, "The witness which I have is greater."

the works . . . bear witness of me—not simply as miracles nor even as a miracle of mercy, but these miracles, as He did them, with a will and a power, a majesty and a grace manifestly His own.
