John 5:30-6:2 (Gospel)
- 30
- I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
- 31
- If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
- 32
- There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.
- 33
- You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
- 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 shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
- 36
- But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish – the very works that I do – bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
- 37
- And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
- 38
- But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
- 39
- You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
- 40
- But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
- 41
- I do not receive honor from men.
- 42
- But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
- 43
- I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
- 44
- How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
- 45
- Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you – Moses, in whom you trust.
- 46
- For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.
- 47
- But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

- After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.
- 2
- Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.
