34But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.
35He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.
36But 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.
37And 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.
38And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has sent.
39You 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.
