⁹ If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

¹⁶ And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

¹⁷ And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

³¹ Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

³⁸ But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

¹⁰ He who has faith in the Son of God has the witness in himself: he who has not faith in God makes him false, because he has not faith in the witness which God has given about his Son.

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

⁴ And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

³² And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

¹⁷ Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸ I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

¹⁹ Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

³⁹ You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

³¹ If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

³² There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

³³ You sent to John and he gave true witness.

³⁴ But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

³⁵ He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

³⁶ But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

³⁷ And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

³² He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

³³ He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.
