⁹ If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

¹⁶ And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him,

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

³¹ because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'

³⁸ and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me `is' the Father, and I in Him.'

¹⁰ He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

¹⁸ that through two immutable things, in which `it is' impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before `us',

⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

³² and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'

¹⁷ and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸ I am `one' who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

³⁹ `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

³¹ `If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

³² another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

³³ ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴ `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶ `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷ `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

³² `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;

³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
