30 I can’t do anything on my own. As I listen ⌊to the Father⌋, I make my judgments. My judgments are right because I don’t try to do what I want but what the one who sent me wants.
31 “If I testify on my own behalf, what I say isn’t true.
32 Someone else testifies on my behalf, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33 You sent people to John ⌊the Baptizer⌋, and he testified to the truth.
34 But I don’t depend on human testimony. I’m telling you this to save you.
35 John was a lamp that gave off brilliant light. For a time you enjoyed the pleasure of his light.
36 But I have something that testifies more favorably on my behalf than John’s testimony. The tasks that the Father gave me to carry out, these tasks which I perform, testify on my behalf. They prove that the Father has sent me.
