33 “You have sent to Yoḥanan, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 “But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this in order that you might be saved.
35 “He was the burning and shining lamp, and for a while you wished to rejoice in his light.
36 “But I have a greater witness than that of Yoḥanan, for the works that the Father gave Me to accomplish, the works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
37 “And the Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
38 “And you do not have His Word staying in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think you possess everlasting life in them. And these are the ones that bear witness of Me.
